Participants mainly come from Northern Ontario but we also have those from across Canada, including the very north and a few from the United States. Everyone with an interest in FASD is welcome to attend!The Purpose of the conference is two-fold:1. To recognize and engage families as experts, supporting a forum for them to create understanding regarding the barriers they face and provide insight into the range of services that are most effective and needed.2. As we bridge the gap between families and service providers, we also plan to balance this with expert facilitators to share knowledge regarding professional approaches and best practices in action across the country.

Submissions from a variety of perspectives are encouraged.
