Feedback Please! Animata and Comic Book Project The Whitecrow Village team and Healthy Aboriginal Network have been working together to produce an FASD comic book and animation series and would like to hear some of your thoughts and comments.

The Whitecrow Village Film Crew was recently commissioned to produce an update to the video produced by MCFD on adoption and FASD. The original video, “Redefining Success,” was filmed in 1999 – 2000, and features our own Kee Warner, Daniel Warner, and Kirk Lutke. The updated sequel, “Success is a Spectrum,” focuses on adults and adolescents with FASD who have been adopted and their adoptive families. The new video showcases various members from the Whitecrow Village community and was released in the summer of 2008.
Pilot Project: Addictions Recovery Community 12-Step Meetings The Whitecrow Village Addictions Support Recovery team has partnered with VIHA: Youth Addictions Services and the FASD Community Circle: Mums Mentoring Mums program to co-facilitate a small pilot 12-step support group that has been meeting in Victoria since early February, 2008. The immediate aim of the team leaders is to work together with FASD affected participants in the group to establish a criteria and format for 12-step addictions recovery support meetings that is mindful of, and respects the needs of persons who are affected by FASD. The goal of this research project is to share findings and learning in a mentorship role with agencies and support communities in other regions.

Whitecrow Village Family Quilt Project In the summer of 2006, a devoted Whitecrow Village volunteer approached us with the idea to create a community quilt. Her idea was that members of the Whitecrow Village community (including participant families, volunteers, staff, professionals, and other contributors) would share their personal stories and experiences of Whitecrow Village by each designing and decorating the individual squares of the quilt. Over time, and square by square, the blanket will grow into a beautiful symbol of the learning, sharing, support, and caring of our unique community. For information on how you and your family can become involved in this project, click here.
