This conference represents an opportunity to bring together research, practice, policy, lived experience, and community wisdom.
By building stronger relationships, increasing awareness, and creating fewer wrong doors to support, we can help improve outcomes for individuals, families, and communities impacted by FASD and other complex neurodevelopmental differences.
