The St. Louis Arc’s Prevention Project wants expectant mothers to Go the Whole 9: nine months of pregnancy without a single drop of alcohol. There is no safe amount, no type of safe alcohol and no safe time during pregnancy to drink. Learn more about our Go the Whole 9 campaign and get the facts, myths and misconceptions about drinking during pregnancy at our campaign website, http://www.thewhole9.org
Our Prevention Project brings informative and motivational speakers to your group to talk about FAS prevention at no cost (when in the St. Louis region). Ideal for high school and college classes, civic organizations, teen groups, parents, educators, health professionals and others, our presentations are always customized for your specific audience.
The children and families affected by prenatal alcohol exposure may need lifetime support. The St. Louis Arc offers a full-range of services for people with developmental disabilities, including those with FAS-related disabilities.
