WELCOME TO FASD AWARENESS
SOUTH EAST
Foetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders (FASD) is the term used to describe the lifelong physical and/or brain impairments that can result from alcohol exposure before birth. These impairments might become evident as difficulties with physical activities, speech and language, memory, learning and behaviour issues.
FASD can be the outcome in individuals whose parents were either not aware of the dangers of alcohol use during pregnancy, or were not being supported to stay healthy and strong during pregnancy.
SUPPORT GROUP
Monthly support group based in Rainham, Kent. Free of charge, covering a range of different FASD related subjects.
TRAINING
Information services for health, mental health, social service providers, educators and professionals working with children, adolescents and adults affected by FASD.
DONATE
FASD AWARENESS South East appreciates all donations. Your donations help fund monthly FASD support groups and provide training within schools. In addition, we will be able to continue to grow awareness
of FASD.
