Key Worker
Key Workers provide family-centered support services for Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD) and related conditions
This may include working alongside children, youth and family members as well as school and community agencies.
Family-centered support services are usually provided for six months and may include:
- Providing information
- Assisting with behavior strategies or life skills
- Linking to family services
- Helping families meet their own and their child’s need
Key Workers also provide groups for families and caregivers:
- Educational groups—offer parents and caregivers of children and youth with FASD and related conditions the opportunity to learn about such topics as lifespan development, advocacy, accessing community resources, and self-care.
- Support groups—offer parents the chance to meet other parents and caregivers who are raising children with FASD and related conditions.
Who’s eligible?
- Children or youth assessed and diagnosed with Fetal Alcohol Syndrome Disorder (FASD) or related conditions
- Children 0-12 living in Surrey (North of 48th Avenue)

How do I get my child assessed?
- See your doctor to get a referral to a pediatrician for a thorough medical exam.
- If Fetal Alcohol Syndrome Disorder (FASD) or a related condition is suspected, then the pediatrician will make a referral to Sunny Hill Health Centre, for a diagnostic assessment.
- Once you have been referred for an assessment, you can request our Key Worker services at any time.
