Advocacy and Support for Adults with FASD Involved in the Justice System

The FASD Action Hall (FAH) is a peer support group for individuals living with FASD and their support person(s). The group designs what the sessions will be and the topics they want to cover over the year. (Jan to June and Sept to Dec) Participation in FAH can result in individuals having a better understanding of FASD and their personal strengths.

The Calgary John Howard Society (CJHS)’s Extended FASD Support Program supports individuals in 5 areas: Justice Advocacy, Exploration and Connection to Natural Supports, Referral for an FASD Assessment, Assistance with applying for Financial Supports, and Support connections to health and well-being professionals.
