Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder

Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD) is an umbrella term used to describe the range of disabilities caused by prenatal exposure to alcohol. FASD is a life-long condition with no cure.

Alberta Children and Youth Services works to promote the safety, well-being and development of Alberta's children and youth, including supporting programs and services designed to prevent FASD, and serving children affected by FASD. 

Through the Aberta FASD Cross-Ministry Committee, Children and Youth Services works in partnership with provincial and federal government ministries, community organizations, professionals and other stakeholders in developing and supporting services for people affected by FASD and their caregivers.
