NOFASARD and the Russell Family Fetal Alcohol Disorders Association have teamed up on a new campaign to educate Australians about fetal alcohol spectrum disorder. Unfortunately some people at the current time are still not aware that alcohol and pregnancy simply don’t mix… and if you are considering pregnancy or are pregnant no alcohol is the best and safest choice for your unborn baby. The new FASD education campaign aims to show all Australians why alcohol and pregnancy don’t mix. It’s estimated as many as 1 in 100 newborn babies may be born with the effects of FASD. The key is to arm yourself with information - and that’s very much what this new campaign is about.
