A networking breakfast brought together 22 community, voluntary and statutory sector organisations including community groups, families, local councillors, churches and food banks with the Children and Young People’s Strategic Partnership’s (CYPSP) Fermanagh and Omagh Locality Planning Groups on 6 September 2016.
The purpose of the event was to raise awareness of Foetal Alcohol Syndrome Disorder (FASD) and encourage expecting mothers to stand firm in keeping their baby safe by not drinking alcohol during pregnancy. Evidence has found drinking at any stage of pregnancy can cause harmful effects to an unborn child with some resulting in longer term impacts on a child’s life.
