Greater Manchester FASD Network

The Greater Manchester FASD network exists to:

  • Increase awareness and learning about FASD amongst voluntary and community organisations in Greater Manchester
  • Support community groups and voluntary organisations to mark FASD awareness month in September by delivering events and awareness-raising initiatives
  • Support the response in Greater Manchester to the recently published NICE clinical guidelines on FASD
  • Develop resources to support parents, carers, and VCSE organisations, enabling better support for families with FASD, and information for communities about the risks of alcohol use during pregnancy in a non-judgemental and supportive way.

The Network meets online each month and is made up of a mixture of parents/carers of children/young adults with FASD, voluntary organisations, community groups, social enterprises, and public health professionals. 

The Network often runs events, such as awareness workshops and training sessions. Take a look at some of the upcoming events here. 

 

If you’d like to find out more about the network, or if you’d like to join, please get in touch! You’d be very welcome.
