Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD) is an invisible avalanche
crashing down and overwhelming public resources. When we
realize an avalanche is a bunch of snowflakes that have been
ignored, the task of keeping affected people and their
communities safe, seems more manageable. Each child disabled by
prenatal alcohol exposure is like an innocent snowflake. There
is nothing more fragile and beautiful than innocence; but
nothing is more tragic than innocence betrayed by ignorance and
fear. Therefore, in defense of innocence, it is the mission of
the F.A.S. Family Resource Institute, a non-profit educational
organization; to identify, understand and care for each person
with FASD. This web site is published with the hope that it
will aid in the preservation of the sweet innocence in those who
are affected and that their cries for understanding and help
will not be ignored.
