The Municipality of Trent Hills proclaims September 2024 as FASD Month

Fetal alcohol spectrum disorder describes the impacts on the brain and body of someone exposed to alcohol in the womb. It's a lifelong disability but is preventable with the right services and support.

September 9th is International FASD (Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder) Day. First celebrated in 1999, FASD day is devoted to raising awareness of fetal alcohol spectrum disorder (FASD) to improve prevention of FASD and diagnosis and support for individuals with FASD.
