Canada, the Conservatives are forced birthers. Abortion rights are on your ballot too.

While the Canada Disability Benefit is an incredible step forward, we need specific support for people with FASD, a disability that often goes unrecognized and undiagnosed.

That’s why we’re still fighting for Bill S-253, an act for a National FASD Framework!

Are you a young adult (aged 18 to 25) with a diagnosis of FASD or a caregiver of someone with FASD?

CanFASD submitted a brief in support of Bill S-253 to the Senate Committee on Social Affairs, Science and Technology.

If passed, it will help Canadians with FASD and their families access the services they need.

Individuals with FASD face challenges with accessing stable housing. Many people with FASD have experienced being unhoused.

However housing stability supports individuals with FASD to achieve success in multiple other domains of life.

Last month we met with @ratnaomi to discuss Bill S-253.

Senator Omidvar is the Chair of the Social Affairs, Science and Technology committee.

We hope that the committee will finish examining the Bill soon and help us move closer to getting a National FASD Framework in Canada!
