Ireland's national parent-led peer support organisation for people living with Foetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD) and their families.

You are not alone.

FASD Ireland was established by parents who understand the challenges of seeking answers and support for Foetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder. Whatever brought you here, you'll find a community that listens without judgement.

You never drink alone when you are pregnant

What we do

Four pillars, one mission

CPD-accredited training

Training for practitioners and families, including Non-Violent Resistance (NVR) and Introduction to FASD.

Evidence-based guidance



Clear, judgement-free information on alcohol and pregnancy, grounded in current research.

Peer-led community



Parent/carer peer groups and the FASD Hub, built by families who've walked this path.

Built by families, for families

Support built on lived experience

At FASD Ireland, we believe some of the most valuable support comes from people who have walked a similar path. We're independent, family-centred, and committed to treating every person affected by FASD with dignity and respect.

• Compassionate peer support from people with lived experience
• Practical guidance for families at every stage of the journey
• Information and signposting for assessments, diagnosis and everyday life with FASD
• Advocacy to help ensure the voices of families are heard

Understanding FASD

A lifelong, and entirely preventable, condition

FASD is a lifelong neurodevelopmental disability caused by prenatal alcohol exposure, affecting brain development, learning, behaviour, memory and sensory processing. It's a spectrum - no two people experience FASD the same way.
