Victoria, B.C. – To kick off Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD) Prevention and Support Month, the B.C. government is launching an awareness campaign with new online tools and an interactive quiz to get people of all ages involved.
Every September, B.C. marks FASD Prevention and Support Month and FASD Prevention and Support Day (Sept. 9), chosen to reflect the nine months of pregnancy.
An FASD awareness trivia game mirrored after the popular Jeopardy! game show and interactive quiz are now posted on B.C.’s Best Chance website, featuring questions and trivia that relate to pregnancy and the effects of drinking alcohol while pregnant: www.bestchance.gov.bc.ca/tools-and-resources/interactive-tools/interactive-tools.html
Communities and organizations throughout the province can also tap into a new online toolkit that includes suggestions for FASD prevention and awareness activities, as well as information on the resources available for children and families impacted by FASD. The toolkit is available at: www.health.gov.bc.ca/women-and-children/publications.html
