Building FASD State Systems Meetings

The FASD Center for Excellence has convened four "Building FASD State Systems" (BFSS) meetings. These BFSS meetings are designed to facilitate the creation and enhancement of comprehensive systems of care for FASD. The BFSS meetings are part of the FASD Center's response to its legislative mandate to provide technical assistance to communities developing systems of care. Links to information on each of these meetings are shown below.
