FASD Impacts Us All.

Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders (FASD) is caused when a woman drinks alcohol during pregnancy.  FASD is common.  It is costly.  And it is 100% preventable.

Since 1998, the Minnesota Organization on Fetal Alcohol Syndrome (MOFAS) has been the hub of hope for individuals and families affected by FASD.  MOFAS is the statewide organization serving as the leading voice and resource on FASD in Minnesota - standing up for the rights of the FASD community, providing education and training so FASD is better understood and working to ensure that all women know that there is no safe level of alcohol use during pregnancy.

We invite you to browse our site to learn about the Minnesota Organization on Fetal Alcohol Syndrome (MOFAS). Share in our vision of celebrating alcohol-free pregnancies.  And help us prevent FASD.
