We are proud to announce that the Enviros Neurodevelopmental Diagnostic Clinic has won the 2025 Claudette Bradshaw Award.
This award recognizes an individual, agency or organization who has developed an innovative intervention that has made a substantial contribution to the FASD field.
About Enviros and the Neurodevelopmental Diagnostic Clinic
Enviros is a Calgary-based not-for-profit social services agency that offers evidence-based, strength-focused programming for children, youth, adults, and families. In addition, their Neurodevelopmental Diagnostic Clinic is a leader in multidisciplinary FASD assessment and support. It serves clients from Calgary Youth Courts and Indigenous communities including Stoney Nakoda and Tsuut’ina Nations.
With more than 20 years of work in the field, Enviros has become a key service provider for individuals with FASD. Their services support greater inclusion, well-being, and community success.
The Transitions to Positive Futures Program
Enviros is being recognized specifically for its Transitions to Positive Futures (TTPF) program. This initiative is delivered in the Calgary Young Offenders Centre and the Adult Female Annex. TTPF was designed to identify and support youth and women with suspected or diagnosed FASD who are involved in the legal system.
The program provides:
- multidisciplinary FASD assessments
- court-informed education and supports
- post-diagnosis transition planning
- connection to housing, mental health, addiction, education and employment services
- training for correctional staff and justice professionals
Why this work matters
Many individuals with FASD go undiagnosed or unsupported while navigating the legal system. Enviros broke new ground by bringing FASD expertise directly into correctional settings and bridging the gap between assessment, intervention, and community reintegration.
The model addressed long-standing service gaps and set a foundation for safer, more compassionate, FASD-informed justice responses. The demand for this program continues, with clients, staff, and facility leaders advocating for its return.
Congratulations to Enviros for winning this year’s Claudette Bradshaw award and thank you for all the incredible work you do in supporting youth with FASD in Calgary!
