Join Us to Make a Difference This September!
September is FASD Awareness Month, and we’re passionate about shedding light on fetal alcohol spectrum disorders or FASD, a common but often misunderstood disability. This month, we’re rallying our community to raise awareness about FASD and the dangers of prenatal alcohol exposure. Join us in amplifying our message: every family deserves the best start, and together, we can make a difference!
