Peer Support
We have an online community of people who truly understand the highs and lows of parenting a child or young person with a history of prenatal alcohol exposure. Our private Facebook group is a safe space where we can share our joys and challenges. It is closely moderated by the FASD Hub Scotland team who are also on hand to answer any questions.
