As FASD Awareness Month comes to a close, we are reminded to move beyond awareness toward understanding, inclusion, and action. We're committed to continually learning, listening to people with lived experience, and challenging stigma.

The conversation doesn't end in October—stay tuned for our upcoming webinar, FASD Essentials, where our FASD Programs Specialist, with over thirty years of experience, alongside a person with FASD, will share best practices for supporting this vulnerable population.

Be sure to visit the FASD Ontario website for ongoing FASD information, resources, and supports. https://www.fasdinfotsaf.ca/



--------------------

Alors que le Mois de la sensibilisation au TSAF touche à sa fin, nous sommes invités à aller au-delà de la simple sensibilisation pour privilégier la compréhension, l’inclusion et l’action. Nous nous engageons à apprendre en continu, à être à l’écoute des personnes ayant un TSAF et à combattre la stigmatisation.

Le dialogue ne s’arrête pas en octobre : restez à l’affût de notre prochain webinaire, « Les essentiels du TSAF ». Notre spécialiste des programmes liés au TSAF, forte de plus de trente ans d’expérience, y présentera — aux côtés d’une personne vivant avec un TSAF — les meilleures pratiques pour soutenir cette population vulnérable.

N’hésitez pas à consulter le site Web TSAF pour accéder à de l'information, des ressources et des services de soutien. https://www.fasdinfotsaf.ca/fr/

Today, on National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, we pause to reflect on the intergenerational impacts of residential schools on Indigenous communities across Canada.

Reconciliation is an ongoing journey—we commit to listening, learning, and working alongside Indigenous communities to build a future founded on respect, justice, equity, and belonging.

Remember to wear orange today to show your commitment to Canada’s ongoing reconciliation journey. 🧡
