It means I’m no longer alone in the hardships,struggles, defeatedness and stress this disability so often causes.
We met online when COVID hit so we could vent, ask questions, joke around, share stories, wins, and struggles.
We loved seeing each other for the first time for many as we celebrated at Celebration Square (appropriately named) to mark our first ever FASD Awareness Day.
The kids could once again be around there own and know there’s NO judgement like we get from family, friends, neighbours. Those who don’t understand the disability are the he first ones to comment.
We do meet through the year so the kids can get together, have fun and be themselves.
Through COVID they also did online things like Lego Club, Coding, Dance club just to name a few to keep a Connection going.

A sense of Unity, Family and people who help each other whenever and wherever they can. Share ideas, resources, strategies whatever is needed we’re there for each other.This Group is a family who share a bond because they get it!.I wouldn’t asked or want for another group of people on this journey of understanding and changing the way people think of our kiddos (my case grandkiddos) and their brain based disability and what that entails.

I like that we get to go places and that their are other kids like me.

I remember falling to my knees just sobbing the day I got my child’s diagnosis… after 6 years of feeling in my bones that his diagnosis of Severe Severe  ADHD was not right, I finally got confirmation that he did not have ADHD but it was FASD. A diagnosis that fit what we were experiencing. That day I was able to get up off the ground wipe my tears and start learning the skills and language needed to support my family.  I continue to grow with the support of this amazing group and look forward to seeing and being with them online, at events/ programs, and annually in celebration of FASD Day Sept 9th.

The program has helped us in many ways. It has helped our family feel connected and supported to other Families who are going through similar experiences. It has also helped my son gain some really good connections with peers who have similar struggles. He feels like he is accepted and not judged because this group who have great people supporting each other and wholesomely accept each other  without Judgement.Through funding we also Got To make really great memories and gain skills which would not have been possible if this group did not exist.

As the year is closing I wanted to reach out and let you know what the support groups of FASDConnection Peel and Bloks & Bridges has meant to Matthew and my family. We have found a sense of community for both myself and my husband in the programs that are offered and speakers that have been engaged. Matthew has made connections in the group events that are held. You and Jennifer always seem to find the right mix of young and old and keeping our kids busy which as you know is the best thing for them since often times they do not have friends at school or in the community.

Keep up the great work and we look forward to continued partnership.
