If you are in Hertfordshire, or surrounding areas, please join our growing support network for those who are affected by, caring for, or educating someone with FASD (Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder). We hold bi-monthly informal discussions in a supportive environment. Our innovative FASD Club welcomes young people with FASD in a supportive environment. We also provide links to resources for those seeking support services in the area.
Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD) refers to a range of effects on the brain and body resulting from prenatal alcohol exposure. This is a lifelong condition that can impact daily life, requiring support in areas like motor skills, physical health, learning, memory, attention, communication, emotional regulation, and social interaction to help each person achieve their best. Every individual with FASD has a unique set of strengths and challenges.
We are here for each other, even if we cannot meet we are still very much active.
Sign up here if you want to join the WhatsApp group.
Unlike many other lotteries, our lottery tickets are only £1 per week.
The Hertfordshire FASD Support Network is a member of the FASD UK Alliance.
We are excited to announce we now have desk space in The National Organisation for FASD’s office in the Ware Priory.
New open house drop-in days and our new helpline, made possible due to support from a COVID Recovery Grant from East Herts Council.
2-4%
of the population have FASD
The most recent UK study indicates that 2-4% of the population have FASD. That means some 2,900 – 5,900 people in our area may be in need of recognition, support and diagnosis.
We are grateful to East Herts Council for enabling us to provide support, training, and resources throughout East Herts on FASD recognition, prevention, and support through a 2021-22 COVID Community Recovery Grant.
With the coming NICE Quality Standard on FASD and steps locally to put in place an FASD pathway, we expect the demand for our services will only increase.
