Atlantic Community Network Blog

The Atlantic FASD Community Network brings together people from the Atlantic provinces (Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Prince Edward Island, Newfoundland and Labrador) whose work focuses on or intersects with fetal alcohol spectrum disorder (FASD) at the community or committee level. The Network aims to move forward FASD initiatives in the Atlantic region through collaborative efforts around awareness, prevention, education, intervention, and knowledge mobilization. 

This blog is an initiative led by the Atlantic FASD Community Network. It aims to capture the experiences and views of various individuals working or living with FASD in the Atlantic provinces. 


We respectfully acknowledge the territory on which we gather and conduct our work as the ancestral and unceded territory of a diverse number of groups including Mi’kmaq, Beothuk, Wolastoqiyik (Maliseet), Passamaquoddy, Innu and Inuit. We strive for respectful partnerships with all the peoples (Indigenous and non-Indigenous) of the Atlantic provinces as we search for collective healing and true reconciliation and honour this beautiful land together.

​FASD Awareness Month: What Can You Do to Get Involved?

9/1/2022

Laura Squires, NL
​​Do you know someone who is pregnant or who may become pregnant? If yes, you are part of the prevention of FASD and to help spread awareness about the risks of alcohol use during pregnancy.
 
FASD Awareness month was developed as an expansion to FASD Awareness Day, which was first recognized on September 9th, 1999. FASD Awareness is honored on the 9th day of the 9th month to represent the 9 months of pregnancy. FASD Awareness Day is still recognized, and was expanded into awareness month in 2016 to increase efforts around raising awareness of the lifelong effects of FASD, to improve prevention, assessment and diagnostic processes, and support for individuals with FASD.
