What is FASD?

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD) refers to a range of conditions that can occur when a baby is exposed to alcohol before birth. These conditions can affect brain development, physical health, learning, behavior, and overall development.

The effects of FASD vary from person to person and may have lifelong impacts on learning, memory, attention, behavior, growth, and physical development.

While there is no cure for FASD, early diagnosis, intervention, and supportive services can make a meaningful difference and help individuals reach their full potential.

During FASD Awareness Month, let’s increase understanding, reduce stigma, and promote prevention and support for individuals and families affected by FASD. 💙

September is Su***de Prevention Awareness Month.

You may not always know what someone is experiencing.

A check-in, a listening ear, a number shared at the right moment, can make a real difference.

September is Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD) Awareness Month, a time to raise awareness about how alcohol exposure during pregnancy can affect a baby's developing brain and body.

While FASD can look different for everyone it affects, one fact remains clear: there is no known safe amount of alcohol during pregnancy.

If you’re pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or think you could be pregnant, avoiding alcohol is one of the first steps you can take to protect your baby’s health.

Together, we can promote awareness, support, and take meaningful steps toward healthier pregnancies and healthier futures. 💙

Did you know that International Overdose Awareness Day is marking its 25th anniversary today?

Overdose is preventable. Through timely access to care and support, education, harm reduction strategies, and life-saving interventions, we have proven tools to reduce harm and save lives.

Today, we honor the dedication of those who have carried this important work forward for more than 25 years. We also invite more people into the conversation — to learn, to speak openly, and to respond with compassion.

Because while International Overdose Awareness Day remains an important reminder, it does not have to be needed forever.

Together, we can build a future where fewer lives are lost, support is accessible to everyone who needs it, and one day this global day of remembrance is no longer necessary.

Transitions can be uncomfortable, emotional, exciting, and exhausting—all at the same time.

But growth often happens in those in-between moments.

As you head into a new season, remember:
✔ You don't have to have everything figured out.
✔ It's okay to ask for help.
✔ Healthy coping skills matter.
✔ Staying connected matters.

Give yourself grace. You're still growing, and that's something to be proud of.

Major life transitions can take a toll on mental health.

According to the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), staying connected to supportive people is one of the most powerful protective factors for emotional well-being.

If you're feeling overwhelmed, reach out to a parent, teacher, counselor, coach, or another trusted adult. A simple conversation can make life's challenges feel more manageable.

You don't have to navigate life's transitions alone.

Not knowing what comes next is normal.

Transitions are a learning process, not a test you have to ace immediately.

Growth often looks messy before it feels comfortable.
