Become an FASD advocate
We need advocates like you to join the growing national movement to improve outcomes for the FASD community. Join the FASD United Policy Center and take part in our weekly drop-in calls and our monthly forums, which are open to anyone interested in advocating for policies to support the FASD community.
Sign up for updates and reach out to the policy team for more information. Thanks to countless FASD advocates, the FASD Respect Act is now law. Now we need your help to ensure that its provisions are fully implemented.
Tell your story
FASD United is committed to amplifying the voices of the FASD community, including individuals with FASD as well as families and caregivers. Take part in our Glimpses of FASD video project, in which people with FASD share their story in their own words as they educate and inspire others.
Share your personal story with advocates and policymakers. Recognize a young person with FASD with a Stars for Starla award. By sharing your story, you are increasing awareness and understanding of FASD and reducing stigma.
Share Your knowledge and resources
Your knowledge is powerful. Reach out and connect with us to share your own FASD expertise and resources. Submit your event to our online events calendar. Send us recent FASD-related news and information for consideration to be featured in our Weekly Roundup email newsletter. Add your local resource to our Resource Directory.
Participate in research and recruit research participants by adding your study to our Research Opportunity webpage. Legal professionals, get involved with our Justice Center. Join a review team for our publications, such as our Symposium White Paper.
