Vision: Calgary Fetal Alcohol Network believes in a community where no family faces FASD alone, and individuals thrive.

Mission: Working together through innovative action, we champion a healthy response to FASD in Calgary and surrounding areas.

The Calgary Fetal Alcohol Network (CFAN) is a charity that aims to reduce the incidence of Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD) and ensure people who are affected by FASD are able to live a positive and fulfilling life.

Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD) is a diagnostic term used to describe impacts on the brain and body of individuals prenatally exposed to alcohol. FASD is a lifelong disability. Individuals with FASD will experience some degree of challenges in their daily living, and need support with motor skills, physical health, learning, memory, attention, communication, emotional regulation, and social skills to reach their full potential. Each individual with FASD is unique and has areas of both strengths and challenges. Although FASD is a spectrum, research shows us that early and appropriate supports can make a positive impact and improve outcomes for those with the disability.

CFAN works with members, community stakeholders and partner agencies to cultivate a deeper understanding of FASD, its causes, symptoms and wider impacts. Through our work, we support over 1,400 individuals with FASD and their caregivers each year.

CFAN and it's FASD service providers in Calgary and area, provide services in three key areas: prevention, assessment and diagnosis, and direct supports for individuals and families. In addition, we provide FASD training and education and support to those affected by FASD.
