International FASD Awareness Day is on Thursday, September 9th. Looking for a quick and easy way of marking the day? Look no farther! Here are a couple of suggestions.
- On the way home today or on your way to work tomorrow, stop by the grocery store and pick up a few simple easy ingredients to make some non-alcoholic drinks for your co-workers and/or clients. Mocktails usually have a small number of ingredients, require some mixing, and voila! A piña colada? Mix up some coconut milk, crushed pineapple and pineapple juice. How about an Apple Bliss? Just some ice, apple cider, lemon juice and cranberry juice. Check out a previous post on mocktails for more recipe resources.
- Print out this quiz on FASD and take it to a meeting or leave it in a prominent location in a waiting area for clients to pick up.
- Download or print a few copies of 10 Fundamental components of FASD prevention from a women’s health determinants perspective from the CanFASD web site and share them with colleagues
