The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders (FASD) Center for Excellence has developed this resource kit to help you and your community understand and prevent FASD. “FASD” is a term that describes a range of lifelong effects that can occur in someone whose mother drank alcohol during pregnancy. The materials in this kit have been specially designed for the needs of American Indian, Alaska Native, and Native Hawaiian communities, which we will also refer to as “Native communities.” FASD is 100 percent preventable, so it is important for everyone to share the message of prevention and hope with mothers-to-be, policymakers, health professionals, and family and community members.
