NO AMOUNT OF ALCOHOL IS SAFE

Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD) is completely preventable. Partners, families and communities can assist by having alcohol free community events, by providing alcohol alternatives and by refraining from drinking in support of your pregnant partner.

We all have a role to play in ensuring the health and welfare of future generations by giving them the best start in life.
