The FASD Collaborative Project was created in late 2020 from a discussion within the FASD United Affiliate Network in the United States, when a need was identified to increase effective supports and evidence-based training at a national level related to FASD. FASD organizations from around the globe joined forces under the notion that if we each "give a little," we can create more dynamic FASD systems of care internationally. There are over 30 organizations participating in our current offerings.

​

Support Groups

OrganicOrganizations around the world have come together to offer over 25 different online FASD support and information sharing groups to birthmothers, birth families, self-advocates, and caregivers internationally. These support groups are run by a range of leading organizations and experts in the field of FASD. Most of these support groups are offered free of charge and all are currently open to new support group participants.

​

We welcome new FASD support groups to be listed with the Collaborative; please note that your support group must be made available to a national/international audience. Available support groups for the Collaborative can be found here.

 

Special Interest Groups (SIGs)

The FASD Collaborative now hosts several FASD-specific Special Interest Groups (SIGs). Designed to provide a discussion space on important discipline-specific and cross-disciplinary topics in FASD, these SIGs provide members of our community a place to create change in our field. More information on our SIGs can be found here.

​

Webinar Series

The FASD Collaborative created a expansive webinar series in 2021 and 2022, which offered nearly 40 free webinars on a wide variety of FASD-related topics. Most of these presentations were recorded and are available on-demand in the FASD Collaborative webinar catalog. All of our on-demand webinars are free of charge to view and can be found here.

​

We will be redesigning our website to optimize searches for webinar content in 2023 and will be offering a new webinar series in 2023-2024.
