We wanted to pass on some information from InclusionBC related to FASD Prevention & Support Month. During September, British Columbia proclaims September as FASD Prevention and Support Month, and communities across the province gather to raise awareness about fetal alcohol spectrum disorders (FASD). The first FASD day was celebrated on September 9, 1999, and in 2016 FASD day was expanded to become a month of awareness.
