NIAGARA FASD COALITION

We are the Niagara FASD Coalition. We are a standing committee comprised of voluntary members who provide education, leadership, and direction to the Niagara community and beyond on FASD. We are here to support our community's ability to address the needs of affected individuals and their families and supporters... FASD is a complex public health and social issue that affects Ontarians in all walks of life. While even low to moderate consumption of alcohol can interfere with the normal development of the fetus, heavy or frequent alcohol use increases the risk of delivering a baby with FASD. While not everyone who consumes alcohol during pregnancy will have a baby affected by alcohol, there is no known safe amount of alcohol consumption during pregnancy. Women who are pregnant or planning a pregnancy should avoid alcohol... FASD ONE is a group that works together to address issues related to Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder in the province.
