We are pleased to announce a FASD Training event!! 
Microboards – Building Supports
The event will help you learn how to create a microboard. A Microboard is a sustainable, supportive and incorporated structure that:
- Supports a person with making decisions throughout their life;
- Upholds and advocates for a person’s individual rights and freedoms;
- Draws on the strengths of friends, family and those close to the person and who knows them well;
- Helps reduce the pressure on families and supports the next generation of caregiver as they step into a lead support role.
DATE: Wednesday Feb 5th @ 7:00pm EST
