September is FASD Awareness Month

Angelene’s story

Angelene’s son lives with Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD). In this video, she talks about alcohol dependence, her son’s FASD diagnosis and her life now as a passionate FASD advocate. 

Every moment matters when you are pregnant or planning a pregnancy. Support is available if you’d like to make a change. 

If you think a child or young person in your care might have FASD, talk to your GP. If needed, they can provide a referral to a paediatrician or FASD-informed health care provider about assessment and diagnosis.
