About this service

An addictions treatment program for youth living with FASD who are involved with the justice system and have problematic substance use. Participants receive one-on-one counselling, participate in small groups and attend recreation and leisure activities. The Starfish Program supports ongoing participation by providing transportation, appointment reminders, non-traditional meeting places and times and inclusion of support persons.

Some youth may be in and out of custody and probation; the project is designed to enable programming to move with the participant through the different systems as their needs change.

Participation is voluntary.

Youth can be referred to the project if they meet the following criteria:

  • Have a diagnosis under the FASD umbrella
  • Are involved in Manitoba Youth Corrections
  • Have problematic substance use
  • Live in Winnipeg or surrounding area

Referrals can be made to the project by phone; all that is required is confirmation that the youth meet the criteria and their name.

Who can use it?

Youth living with FASD who are involved with the justice system and have problematic substance use
