‍Join DMH/DD/SUS for a webinar in recognition of Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder Awareness month. Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD) affects 1 in 20 individuals in the US. Although this is a public health care crisis whose prevalence has undoubtedly risen since the pandemic, this lifetime developmental disability continues to be unrecognized, misdiagnosed, and misunderstood with only 10% of individuals correctly diagnosed. Awareness of FASD in the community is important to provide services and supports that address the diverse needs of youth and adults with FASD. This event will give an overview of FASD, followed by a panel discussion with family members who will share their experiences of living with a person with an FASD.
