Visions and Voices is a speakers’ bureau comprised of adults with Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD). Visions and Voices seeks to increase awareness in communities in order to reduce the stigma of FASD and to encourage healthy living. We believe storytelling is a powerful tool to increase dignity for those living with FASD.

The term FASD describes the range of physical characteristics and brain differences that may affect a person who has had prenatal exposure to alcohol.  Most often there are no physical characteristics to indicate a person has FASD; FASD is a brain-based disability.

Presenters with Visions and Voices have cultivated the art of sharing their stories of hope, struggle, and accomplishment with the public. Visions and Voices has been invited to present all over Manitoba and beyond to teachers, families, police officers, caregivers, social workers, and many others.
