It's here!!
FASD Awareness Month
Doodle something about FASD, and share it on social media
Today’s Hashtags:#DoodleDay #FASDDoodle #FASDMonthUK
BACKGROUND
Today is National Doodle Day, created by Epilepsy Action, to support people affected by epilepsy.
Today by doodling something fun, you can help raise awareness about the link between FASD and epilepsy/ seizure disorder.
More research needs to be done about this important area.
Some studies suggest that people with FASD are 10 times more likely to have epilepsy/ seizure disorder than others.
The DHSC FASD Health Needs Assessment recognises this association, and leading experts believe that people with FASD should be screened for seizures.
This is open to anyone! Doodle something that makes you happy, take a picture of it, and then share it on social media, along with something positive about FASD.
