🍎✨ September is Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders (FASD) Awareness Month—a time to increase understanding, spread awareness, and support individuals and families impacted by FASD.

FASD is the most common, yet preventable, developmental disability. By learning more and sharing knowledge, we can work together to reduce stigma, prevent FASD, and uplift those living with it. 💙

Together, we can build a community of awareness, acceptance, and hope.
