Welcome to FASD Prevention Conversation—an initiative focused on awareness and community engagement. Our program is dedicated to fostering understanding and dialogue surrounding Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD) prevention. By reaching out to diverse groups, including Healthcare and Social Service Providers, Women of Childbearing Age (18-45), Partners, Families, and Friends, we aim to create a network of informed advocates committed to making a positive difference.

At the core of our efforts is the recognition of the crucial role of early intervention. We emphasize the significance of screening women within the childbearing age bracket for alcohol use, along with the potential risks associated with FASD. By enhancing support systems and involving community members and primary care providers, we hope to create an environment where women feel heard and understood.

Prevention Conversation is about more than just raising awareness; it’s about igniting conversations that lead to change. Our approach is built on empathy and non-judgmental communication, allowing for open discussions about alcohol use during pregnancy. By fostering a safe space for dialogue, we empower individuals to be part of the solution.

Education is the cornerstone of our endeavor. By equipping service providers with the tools they need, we enable them to engage women in informative discussions about FASD prevention. Our program’s overarching goal is to empower communities with the knowledge required to decrease the prevalence of FASD and its associated challenges.

For those seeking to explore FASD Prevention Conversation further, we invite you to connect with our dedicated FASD Prevention Conversation Facilitator, Amy Tobin.
