NOFAS responds to "Parenthood" champagne scene

More info: http://nofas.org
The National Organization on Fetal Alcohol Syndrome (NOFAS) is the leading voice and resource of the Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders (FASD) community. Founded in 1990, NOFAS is the only international non-profit organization committed solely to FASD primary prevention, advocacy and support.

NOFAS seeks to create a global community free of alcohol-exposed pregnancies and a society supportive of individuals already living with FASD. NOFAS effectively increases public awareness and mobilizes grassroots action in diverse communities and represents the interests of persons with FASD and their caregivers as the liaison to researchers and policymakers. By ensuring that FASD is broadly recognized as a developmental disability, NOFAS strives to reduce the stigma and improve the quality of life for affected individuals and families.

Great job Kathy, the information you present is clearly stated and understandable. I am glad you included clips of the show as I did not see it. Thanks for NOFAS for contiuing to respond to these unfortunate characterizations in the media. Margo

Wishing everyone could see this and really understand that FASD is 100% preventable!

Why take a chance? Just abstain from alcohol for 9 months. 9 alcohol free months guarantees your child will NOT have life long disabilities (physical and/or emotional) caused by consuming alcohol while pregnant.
