Introduction

My name is Lisa and I am a parent/caregiver to my amazing son who has FASD and is fifteen years old. During this time, I searched for information and support for our family. It did not exist in Peel. So, I co-founded a support group for FASD and I soon became overwhelmed and "burnt out". There were no services or resources to offer the families that were in need. Things are not much better today. Although, I am no longer a facilitator for the support group, FASD Connection Peel still exists today and is run by excellent FASD-informed individuals who truly care.

I wanted to help with FASD by providing services and resources in our community. I went back to school and earned my diploma for Community Worker Outreach and Development/Social Service Worker at Sheridan College.

My vision for this website is to bring news and research about FASD and to engage our community and learn what the needs are and the steps to get these issues resolved.

I will also share what I've learned so far and I hope to keep learning new things from our community.

This website is for all those living and caring for individuals with FASD in the Region of Peel.
