FASD is a worldwide disorder, touching many across the globe. Is this the year you seek a diagnosis and support? We are here to help - https://ap1.hubs.ly/y0DvbX0

What a great new resource and explanation behind the need for them

Individuals with FASD are over-represented in all areas of the justice system. There are many recorded cases of people with FASD “admitting” to offences which they did not commit.

NOFASD Australia has produced wallet-sized information cards which can be carried by people with FASD and other brain disorders. These can be handed to police officers and other professionals if needed. The cards explain that the person has a cognitive impairment and requires a support person to assist them in such interactions. The cards have space for carers to write their contact details so they can be contacted if such situations arise.

✨These cards can assist in providing some peace of mind as your young person starts engaging more independently in the community. ✨

👉 To order a free pack of these cards to be sent to you please call NOFASD’s Helpline: 1 800 860 613 or register your details at: https://buff.ly/taqbktY
Please note that we are only able to post these cards to Australian residents.
