Every Moment Matters
A national awareness campaign on alcohol, pregnancy, breastfeeding and Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD)
Every Moment Matters is a national awareness campaign from the Foundation for Alcohol Research and Education (FARE), endorsed and funded by the Australian Department of Health. The campaign aims to empower Australians by providing clear information about the risks of drinking alcohol during pregnancy and breastfeeding, promote alcohol-free pregnancies, and improve public awareness of Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD).
These important messages can be be shared to your community, and to support this FARE has created a toolkit with images, social media, a short promotional video, and FAQs.
