MISSION STATEMENT

FASSN is a non-profit network that provides information to families and health professionals about resources that are available for individuals in New York City and Long Island who have Fetal Alcohol Syndrome Disorder (FASD). FASSN is active in raising public awareness of FAS through public, private, government agencies, and the media in NYC and L.I. For the past five years, FASSN has been working to build a network of resources that includes support and education towards prevention and intervention in all the Boroughs.

FASSN:

  • Educates private, government, academic institutions, and health care agencies/organizations about FASD through power point presentations.
     

  • Offers grand rounds to physicians, psychiatrists, psychologists, and other health professionals at hospitals throughout New York City and Long Island.
     

  • Runs a city-wide FAS INFORMATION LINE (718-279-1173). Staff members are trained to screen for FASDs. If FASD is suspected, FASSN refers callers to our directory of physicians who can diagnose, psychiatrists and/or psychologists who can provide appropriate interventions.
     

  • Acts as a crisis center for parents/caregivers who are in need of immediate assistance (718 279-1173).
     

  • Provides individuals, families, foster care agencies, Children’s Services, vocational rehabilitation programs and other agencies with trainings, referrals, resources and information on a broad range of FASD- related services and issues through our FAS INFORMATION LINE.
     

  • Demonstrates FASD curricula geared for middle schools and high schools to educate future parents about the dangers of alcohol consumption during pregnancy. FASSN has tested these curricula in New York City and Long Island schools. Materials are available to all schools.
