FASD Focus NW

It all started when…

In January 2005, The National Organization on Fetal Alcohol Syndrome launched its new Affiliate Program in an effort to unify the call for prevention, identification, and treatment of fetal alcohol spectrum disorders (FASD). NOFAS and its Affiliates undertake collaborations to build community coalitions, conduct public outreach, coordinate advocacy efforts, and create media awareness campaigns.

NOFAS Washington State was one of the first seven state affiliates chosen by NOFAS. Within our first year of operation we had achieved our 501 (C) (3) non-profit status, assembled a Board of Directors, and begun the process of strategic planning.
