The National Organisation for FASD provides support to people with Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD), their families and communities; campaigns to raise public awareness; and promotes relevant policies and practices.
National FASD unequivocally promotes alcohol-free pregnancy and the CMOs guidance.
We place a high priority on engaging those with lived experience at the core of our projects and programmes, and we are looking at ways to increase this further as we continue to develop organisationally. We operate on a no-shame, no-blame ethos.
We have two strands of work.
Our prevention works provides resources, training and support for maternity teams, sexual health services, pharmacies and others who are trying to promote alcohol-free pregnancies. We also are working creatively to help expand this work beyond health services and have some exciting new plans coming soon.
Our wellbeing programmes are focused on promoting positive futures for people with FASD and their families, including our Me and My FASD website and resources to promote peer-to-peer learning and to decrease the sense of isolation too many with FASD feel. We provide materials, resources and opportunities for practitioners, educators and other professionals supporting people with FASD.
Our research, policy and media work crosses both strands of work and has had significant impact, though so much more remains to be done.
