Did you know...? Many adults are only diagnosed with Foetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD) later in life after years of being misunderstood. Diagnosis can finally provide answers and appropriate support. #ItsNeverTooLate #FASDAwarenessMonth

FASD prevention is still framed almost entirely as a woman’s responsibility. Science shows paternal alcohol use before conception matters too, yet men are absent from most prevention campaigns. Prevention must be shared. This is about equity, awareness and better outcomes for children, not blame.
