Summary
In May 2017, the Dialogue to Action on the Prevention of Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD) brought together leading experts in FASD prevention and Indigenous wellness to discuss promising practices and opportunities for collaboration on Truth and Reconciliation Call #33, which highlights the need to develop FASD preventive programs in Indigenous communities. This presentation will describe the eight tenets for work on FASD prevention developed from the Dialogue and highlight ongoing action on Indigenous wellness, mothering, and reconciliation in FASD prevention for/with Indigenous communities.
