Founded in 1987 by the National Council on Alcoholism and Drug Dependence (NCADD), Alcohol Awareness Month aims to raise community awareness about the gravity of alcohol abuse and addiction, and to educate the public that alcoholism is a disease from which a person can recover.
Studies show that 1:100 babies are born with fetal alcohol.
Other studies show that if a woman's first child is born with fetal alcohol it is a 77% increased chance her second will too.
Lastly, 64% of people with Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders will have alcohol and drug addictions which increases the cycle.
Let's change the tide and prevent FASD!
