Prevention

This section is so important and key to ending FASD.  We cannot simply say that women should just stop drinking while they are pregnant.  We need to get to the root causes as to why this is happening.  Women's health needs to be a focus of this. 

Portrayals of women drinking while pregnant in movies are so wrong and this has to to stop. Society plays a role  here.  We have to care.  It's happening in your communities.

Someone had an idea a while back to put warning labels on alcohol bottles like they did on cigarettes packages. 

Please share your thoughts and ideas on this with  me.

Indigenous Land Acknowledgement

We would like to acknowledge that the land on which we live, work and gather, and on which the Region of Peel operates, is part of the Treaty Lands and Territory of the Mississaugas of the Credit. For thousands of years, Indigenous peoples inhabited and cared for this land. In particular, we acknowledge the territory of the Anishinabek, Huron-Wendat, Haudenosaunee and Ojibway/Chippewa peoples; the land that is home to the Metis; and most recently, the territory of the Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation who are direct descendants of the Mississaugas of the Credit. We are grateful to have the opportunity to work on this land, and by doing so, give our respect to its first inhabitants.
