Reducing harm caused by alcohol

9th September – FASD Awareness Day

Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders (FASD) refers to a range of permanent and irreversible birth defects caused by a woman drinking during pregnancy.

FASD is difficult to diagnose because there is no test.

Avoiding alcohol during pregnancy and when planning pregnancy is the only way to be sure that babies will not be affected by FASD.
