Many children with FASD have faced a delayed diagnosis due to the singular focus on trauma and attachment in fostering & adoption services. It's time to broaden understanding and consider FASD. #fostering #trauma #attachment #adoption

Are you aware of unit measures? Public Health recommends to limit alcohol intake to 14 units weekly for both men and women. However, during pregnancy, it's safest to avoid alcohol completely to prevent permanent birth defects. #FASD #Alcohol #Pregnancy
