Founded on Métis culture and traditional values, the FASD Bridging Connections Program is designed to serve Métis people with FASD any where in the province as a complement to the programs provided by the Alberta FASD Network.
Why does it matter?
- Métis culture and identity are protective factors for Métis individuals and Métis families.
- Métis people best served by programs that integrate Métis culture and traditional values.
- Métis people are distinct from First Nations and Inuit people.
- Métis cultural distinctives include worldview, language, homeland, spirituality, music, dance, and art.
Program Eligibility:
- Métis (self identified or MNA citizen)
- FASD (confirmed or queried)

FASD Bridging Connection Program participants can access a host of services provided by the Métis Nation of Alberta including MNA citizenship, cultural events for families, Children and Family Services Department Programs, MNA Health Department programs, Métis housing, and much more.
Our FASD Provincial Supports Coordinators also refer program participants to FASD clinics and programs provided by their local FASD Network to ensure they are connected with services in their home community.
