Alcohol Babies @ Home

Family life with Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD) can be a roller coaster of learned and forgotten habits, bright smiles and thunder clouds, crises and triumphs. An alcohol brain-damaged baby can change the dynamic of even a rock-solid family or marriage. Some specialized supports exist to help with daily issues and phases. For localized support, a parents’ group meeting can provide specific information and help. Alcohol Babies Anonymous keeps records of support groups in various locales. Email us at info@alcoholbabies.com for details.

• www.FASlink.org features a chat line for alcohol babies’ families. Chatting electronically can be a useful way of sharing with a large group in a low-visibility format. If no group exists in your area, you might want to start your own. The link below provides instructions for organizing an FASD support group. www.fasworld.com/supportgreat
