The FASD Support Network of Saskatchewan recently implemented a province-wide FASD Resource Kit Campaign. With funds available through the Public Health Agency of Canada, this project was a perfect opportunity to share excellent resources and information about FASD with people from all regions of our province. The Network provided the FASD Resource Kits to targeted agencies from the health, education, employment, justice, social services, disability and family support sectors. We know that individuals and families living with FASD access services and support from a broad range of sectors and that many groups are working hard to learn more about FASD. This campaign allowed us to give them more tools to do this well.

Each FASD Resource Kit contained 12 carefully selected items. Some of the books selected provided a broad perspective and understanding of FASD, others were research based and academic in nature. Such resources are valuable in gaining the most up to date information and evidence. Other books were accessible and straightforward in content, tone and language. Some offered practical support strategies while others presented life stories of individuals living with FASD. By offering the reader a glimpse into the experience of living with FASD, readers can develop greater compassion and a deeper understanding about FASD.
The Network anticipates many benefits coming from the FASD Resource Kit Campaign:

• Individuals, families, members of the general public, frontline workers and professionals from diverse sectors can use the information and resources we have distributed.
• New connections and partnerships with organizations and communities will be forged through the contact and sharing of resources.
• The profile of the Network will be raised and communities will have an improved understanding of Network activities.
• Services providers, now armed with more information, can better meet the needs of individuals and families living with FASD.
• Distribution of FASD Resource Kits in rural, remote or isolated areas allowed us to reach individuals and groups who may not otherwise have access to current and accurate information about FASD.
• Access to informational materials may, in fact, serve as gateway for community members to seek additional support or services.
