In Minnesota, as many as 8,500 babies are born every year with brain damage caused by prenatal alcohol exposure. Annually, the total cost for FASD in Minnesota is estimated at  $131 million. Did you know FASD is 100% preventable if women do not drink alcohol during pregnancy? If you are a professional or a parent with an interest in finding out more about preventing FASD and supporting those who are affected, then this presentation is for you.
