What is FASD?
Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD) is a term used to describe a range of physical and developmental disabilities caused by prenatal exposure to alcohol.
FASD is a lifelong condition with no cure
An estimated 48,000 Albertans are living with FASD.
People affected by FASD may require supports for their entire lifetime to help them meet their potential.
FASD is only caused by a woman drinking while she is pregnant.
No amount of alcohol is safe while pregnant
