Russell Family Fetal Alcohol Disorders Association
Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD) is a brain injury resulting from alcohol consumption during pregnancy. The Russell Family Fetal Alcohol Disorders Association is a not for profit health promotion charity dedicated to ensuring that individuals affected prenatally by alcohol have access to diagnostic services, support and multidisciplinary management planning and that carers and parents are supported with the 'no blame no shame' ethos. This is a family organisation, swearing and disrespect will not be tolerated and while we know that every one needs to vent at times, and that is perfectly acceptable, please be aware when replying to also watch language, and to not be rude and disrespectful. We need to keep these rules in place to keep this site supportive and friendly and to all be here together as a big extended family - thankyou
Do you need the support of other people in Australia who have lived experience with FASD?
