The National Organization on Fetal Alcohol Syndrome (NOFAS) is the leading voice and resource of the Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders (FASD) community. Founded in 1990, NOFAS is the only international non-profit organization committed solely to FASD primary prevention, advocacy and support.
NOFAS seeks to create a global community free of alcohol-exposed pregnancies and a society supportive of individuals already living with FASD. NOFAS effectively increases public awareness and mobilizes grassroots action in diverse communities and represents the interests of persons with FASD and their caregivers as the liaison to researchers and policymakers. By ensuring that FASD is broadly recognized as a developmental disability, NOFAS strives to reduce the stigma and improve the quality of life for affected individuals and families.

I wish you peace. I had a psychic change after 30 years in and out of fellowships. My son is 12 and he had FASD and I understand he could have developed it even if I was not an alcoholic. I keep it simple these days and my life is full of peace,
You are very brave to share your story. You are stronger than you know, in speaking to help prevent cases of FAS. May God bless you and your daughter.
Laura, your courage and determination are such an inspiration to us! We love you. Sue, Tom, and Samuel
Thank you for your honesty , This is so important . I will pray for you .
A strong deadly disease. Alcoholism affects everyone! The stigma creates isolation and shame...terrible terrible thing...remember people need love and help not judgement and ridicule.
