FASD RESEARCH

VISION

We promote FASD research and knowledge mobilization within Manitoba. This may include but is not limited to:

  • identifying and informing evidence-informed practice interventions to promote dignity, dialogues, storytelling, community mobilization and engagement, creativity, equality, diversity, inclusion, etc.
  • supporting lived experience people, women, and other groups community- based participatory research
  • challenging the stigma of individuals and communities affected by FASD
  • promoting and valuing the voices of lived experience people in research.

    Our goal is to identify the philosophies and practices used in successful interventions so individuals, families, and communities impacted by FASD can engage and thrive.

    Research may be in the areas of, but is not limited to, culture, policy, practice, education, biomedical, social, evaluation/comparative analysis of events, raising awareness, and development of new initiatives based on research in this area.

RESEARCH HIGHLIGHTS

Looking After Each Other Project logo

LOOKING AFTER EACH OTHER

Many efforts to prevent Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD) have perpetuated stigma, discrimination, and misunderstandings about FASD, having negative impacts on individuals and the communities. This research aims to identify and remove stigma and discrimination and explore approaches that promote dignity of children, adults, families, and communities impacted by FASD.
