Supporting Adults with FASD

  • FASD is a lifelong neurodevelopment disorder caused by prenatal alcohol exposure.
  • It affects brain and body development and can lead to a host of neurological, emotional, psychological, behavioral, social, and physical health challenges.
  • Despite its prevalence, FASD is often misunderstood and misdiagnosed—especially in adults.
  • We specialize in serving adults with suspected or confirmed FASD.
  • We provide ARMHS or therapy services, tailored to each individual’s needs.
  • Most clients with suspected or confirmed FASD also have co-occurring mental health conditions, which qualify them for our programs.
