About us
Ireland has the 3rd highest prevalence per capita globally of FASD in the world. It is estimated that 40,000 people living across Ireland have FASD - most of those are undiagnosed, some are mis-diagnosed with more 'socially acceptable' medical conditions, and very few have a diagnosis. This is because Ireland does not formally recognise FASD, and there is no pathway to diagnosis. FASD is Ireland's most preventable neuro-developmental disability. It is caused by drinking alcohol when pregnant. The advice from the HSE is very clear: "No amount of alcohol is safe to drink when pregnant or when trying to conceive." With the average age of mortality at 31 years, it is reasonable to suggest that FASD is a contributor to Ireland's very high suicide rate amongst young adults. Based in Ennis, County Clare, we provide support and signposting to individuals and families who live with FASD. We deliver workshops and training to parents, carers, schools, higher level education and businesses that want to learn more about living with FASD. We can deliver our workshops online, at your workplace or in our own offices - these are well equipped to provide workshop / training space, as well as break-out rooms and more informal meeting space.

A big thank you to Dermot at Five Rivers Fostering for including a feature in their September Newsletter about FASD and FASD Ireland. We have a number of Five Rivers Foster Carers and Team Members attending our Introduction to FASD each month - and we really appreciate their continued support. 🙌

An insightful and impactful day at FASD Ireland as we welcomed parents and carers to our NVR Training - delivered by Al Coates, NVR Practitioner. The day started with a welcome from our Director of Operations, Scott Casson-Rennie, before handing participants over to Al The pages you will see in the photo are immediate buzz words of some of the parents and carers experiences, and we are so grateful to them for being so open, raw and honest. NVR Training via FASD Ireland is available to commission, and it doesn't need a connection to FASD. Email us to find out more: scott@fasdireland.ie Once again, our thanks to Healthy Clare and Clare County Council for funding this training.

Our Advisory Board have only ever met online. Tonight as two of them flew into Dublin Airport for different reasons, we caught up with them very briefly! Tristan, Al and Ruth. Al is with us the next few days to deliver NVR Training in person to parents and carers in Clare, and Ruth is attending a disability conference in Dublin. Never miss an opportunity to meet anyone who supports FASD Ireland.
