Red Shoes Rock for FASD Awareness
Red Shoes Rock for FASD Awareness
Some of our red shoes may have rocked more in the past, but they can still start a conversation. How will you start a conversation about FASD and the risks of alcohol use during pregnancy?
Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD) is the leading preventable developmental disability in Australia.
September is International FASD Awareness Month. Australians are encouraged to wear red shoes or socks throughout September to spark conversations and create understanding about FASD.
The Foundation for Alcohol Research and Education (FARE), the National Organisation for Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (NOFASD), the National Aboriginal Community Controlled Health Organisation (NACCHO) and the FASD Hub Australia, alongside community advocates, are supporting Red Shoes Rock.
