Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD) – Stakeholder kit
The impact of FASD on a person is lifelong and targeted prevention is required for groups at risk. The purpose of the campaign is to raise awareness of the risks of drinking during pregnancy by sharing the following key messages:
- Alcohol should be avoided during pregnancy (and whilst planning)
- All members of the community are responsible in reducing the risk, including the partner, family, friends and health care professionals
The campaign is targeting people that are pregnant (or trying to conceive).
We have compiled this toolkit to provide you with online resources that can be shared with your community.
