Project Lifesaver

Project Lifesaver is a community based, public safety, non profit that provides law enforcement, fire/rescue, and caregivers with a program designed to protect and when necessary quickly locate individuals with cognitive disorders who are prone to wandering. Individuals are fitted with a bracelet that is tracked by members of a Project Lifesaver team when caregivers contact them for assistance. In our area the project is administered by Juan de Fuca Search and Rescue.

We Can Learning Communities

If your child with A.S.D. has a brother or sister who you believe could benefit from additional support, this group runs a series of "Sibshops". It allows them to have an open dialogue and share experiences with kids who understand their situation - which even as parents we can't imagine. The "Sibshops" are currently run out of Victoria, but if we had enough interest by our SASS members we would gladly reach out to see if we could organize a group in Sooke.
