At FASD United, we acknowledge the overlap in prenatal alcohol exposure (PAE) and other prenatal substance exposure (PSE). We enthusiastically share space and resources in chemical health, substance use, and maternal-child health. We hope the FASD community will welcome anyone who has been impacted by PSE into our efforts for awareness, policy change, support, and services.
