Programs
W.I.S.E. Up! Parenting
ASCS is hosting a series of workshops beginning with the W.I.S.E. Up! program.
This program is designed to help empower adopted children and their parents deal with questions around adoption. Whatever the reason — benign curiosity, apathy or intended insults, adopted children (and their families) can be equipped to handle questions in addition to helping others become WISER about adoption!
The cost is $35.00 per couple, which includes the W.I.S.E. Up! Powerbook. Contact ASCS for further information.
Heritage Program
Elders and Leaders in the community share their knowledge through traditional teachings and ceremonies for Aboriginal people who have become culturally separated from their ancestral community by adoption, foster care or residential school programs.
Contact ASCS for further information.
History is not just a collection of anecdotes of our past - it is an integral link in the process of knowledge itself. It frames our understanding of who we were, who we are and who we can become as a human society.
Mario Vargas Llosa, 1998
