The staff at Northwest Peace FASD Network proudly wear pink β not just as a colour, but as a commitment.
A commitment to kindness.
A commitment to inclusion.
A commitment to standing up for individuals and families impacted by FASD.
Bullying affects so many of the individuals we support. Many people living with FASD face misunderstanding, judgment, and stigma. Thatβs why days like today matter. Awareness leads to understanding. Understanding leads to compassion. And compassion changes lives.
At Northwest Peace FASD Network, we are more than a team β we are advocates, educators, supporters, and allies. We walk alongside families, empower individuals, and work every day to build a community where differences are respected and strengths are celebrated.
We believe in meeting people where theyβre at.
We believe in safe spaces.
We believe in lifting each other up.
Pink Shirt Day and every day, we choose kindness. We stand against bullying. And we stand together for those impacted by FASD.
The bullying ends with us
Accepting this award was incredibly meaningful for our entire team. Our work is rooted in compassion, advocacy, and walking alongside individuals and families impacted by FASD β and this recognition reflects every conversation, every training, every moment of support, and every partnership in our community.
This award belongs not only to our staff, but to the caregivers, individuals with lived experience, community partners, and supporters who trust us and stand beside us. You are the heart of why we do what we do.
We are deeply thankful to be part of a community that values understanding, inclusion, and kindness. We carry this recognition with pride and renewed commitment to continue the work together.
With full hearts β thank you
