We have had great support from the Metis Settlements with our FASD Diagnostic Clinics. We continue to be successful in bringing Metis individuals through our diagnostic clinics with the help of our mentors. Meetings between mentors and our staff have helped highlight some of the unique needs and supports available. Other successful partnerships include our Prevention Conversation Facilitator and FASD Mentors to offer presentations in schools and provide caregiver support groups over zoom. Keep an eye out of our caregiver support groups happening this spring.
