Today is Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder Day.

UK Chief Medical Officers recommend that the safest approach when pregnant is to not drink alcohol at all. Alcohol Focus Scotland reports that 28% of women in the UK are unaware of this advice.

ONE THING WE KNOW CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE…
Being heard.
As independent advocates, we see the difference it can make when people are listened to, supported to express their views and involved in decisions about their own lives.
Recovery isn't one journey or one definition.
It can be about hope, purpose, confidence, relationships, wellbeing and opportunity.
This September, we’re supporting:
BUILDING RECOVERY TOGETHER
Hope • Purpose • Opportunity
