Fetal Alcohol Syndrome Disorders (FASD)
Initiatives
Alcohol and pregnancy don't mix as the consequences are
irreversible. The RISK program is closely linked with the
Prenatal Nutrition program of the Muskoka-Parry Sound Health
Unit and provides information and resources to pregnant
moms. Together, they recently developed a series of Healthy
"Mocktail" recipes and promoted these.
