NETWORK RESOURCES

 

The Network has a range of information and resources to help you learn more about FASD. As you scroll through this page you will find links to download a set of 20 FASD Tip Sheets, issues of our popular newsletter, Network News, and a Question and Answer section.

 

NEW!!!! FASD and Law Enforcement Brochure

 

 

Two new resources have recently been developed. The FASD and Law Enforcement Brochure and accompanying quick reference card were designed to provide law enforcement officers in Saskatchewan with important information about FASD. Here is a downloadable copy.

 

The two resources will be distributed to law enforcement officers throughout the province. We have also developed an evaluation form so that we may receive feedback on the effectiveness of the brochure and quick reference card.
