FAMILY WELLNESS HUB

FASD Caregiver Support Group

FASD Caregiver Support Group

This is a support group for parents and caregivers of someone with FASD (diagnosed or suspected). New members are always welcome!

FASD is a lifelong brain-based disorder that occurs when a developing baby (fetus) is exposed to alcohol before birth. FASD is not a mental illness. There are often no visible signs. The brain suffers damage and the range of effects can be wide and complex.

Those living with FASD need support. Those caring for individuals with FASD need support, too!
