Go red for FASD awareness this September
This September we’re encouraging Australians to wear red shoes or socks throughout the month, to spark conversations and create an understanding about this largely invisible and preventable disability.
Meet our Official Shoe Partner
We’ve partnered with ethical Australian shoe brand, TWOOBS as our official shoe partner to amplify the campaign across the country.
Rock your

Individuals impacted by FASD don’t plan to be dysregulated. It is a symptom of the condition. They dont want to yell & scream and be rude and disrespectful, be violent or whatever an outburst looks like. It just happens, and then they feel bad about themselves.

Individuals impacted by FASD struggle with impulse control, leading to them getting into unsafe situations and potentially getting into trouble.

Our loved ones impacted by FASD will struggle in classrooms, and this is amplified when the classroom is noisy and chaotic. However, with accommodations being made at the school, they will still be able to achieve positive educational outcomes.

Let`s focus on interdependence instead of independence when supporting individuals impacted by FASD.

The brain is always growing and changing, and innovative programs can help people with FASD manage their challenges with excellent results. For example, when young children with FASD are coached in cognitive skills like self-regulation and memory and trained in coping with a variety of sensory experiences, their behaviour can improve tremendously over time.
When these services are provided routinely and children and their families are given support and encouragement by therapists and behaviour specialists, children with FASD can learn to adapt to classroom environments and participate in a range of activities. Programs like these work for children with FASD, and it’s important that all children in Manitoba be able to access the support they need.

What a busy FASD Awareness Month it has been with such a diversity of activities taking place around Australia – all designed to raise awareness, understanding and support for FASD – the leading preventable developmental disability in Australia.
From landmarks lit up in red in cities around Australia, to training sessions delivered in remote corners of Australia, to meetings with politicians in our nation’s capital, more people are becoming aware of FASD.
NOFASD thanks everyone who joined with us in shining a light on this disability during FASD Awareness Month.

Make it
—Monumental
From the Big Banana to Bolte Bridge, landmarks and institutions across Australia will light up red this September to raise awareness of FASD.
Check out landmarks lit up near you, take a selfie and share it with us, or on your social media!
Host an event in September 2024
FASD Awareness Month is an opportunity for you to get together with your community to talk about FASD, how to prevent it, and how to support people living with FASD.
Communities across Australia will be hosting events and getting together on 9 September, and throughout the month.
You can find a full calendar of community events, and also submit your own event on the NOFASD website.
Not sure what kind of event to host?
- Host a park walk or run, where everyone wears red shoes or socks
- Host a morning tea at work or with friends, featuring red food, and with guests wearing red
- Do you belong to a sporting team or club? Can you wear red for your games in September?
Remember, starting a conversation about FASD is our goal and we can help you with resources to spark conversation.
