The Whitecrow Village Team
Whitecrow Village has become a tight knit and welcoming organisation where team members with FASD and team members without FASD are equal partners. Collectively, the Whitecrow Village team represents THE model for team competency and interdependence, belying popular misconceptions regarding adults with FASD. Our many successes have attracted a high calibre of volunteers and staff who are committed to the Whitecrow Village vision and initiatives. Together, we’ve facilitated Live-In FASD Education (L.I.F.E.) training sessions since 1996 and have continued to increase in capacity, to add more core staff, to strengthen and build community relationships, and to attract more researchers and professionals with each new year.
