To eliminate disability caused by alcohol consumption during pregnancy and to improve the quality of life for those living with FASD throughout Minnesota.
The Community Grants program made a valuable community impact related to increased early identification of children with an FASD by incorporating screening into standard protocols, increased access to employment services for individuals with an FASD, culturally specific programming, legal advocacy for students with an FASD, programs that provided family support, and opportunities for young adults with an FASD to learn and practice social and life skills. This program reaches communities all across the state.
The Community of Recovery Aiding Families in Transition (CRAFT) prevention program serves women with a history of substance use disorders who are either pregnant or parenting young children. The program works by addressing root problems for the most vulnerable families by connecting them with existing community resources. With this ongoing support, mothers with substance use disorders can maintain sobriety and lead healthy lives with their children.
The outreach and education to childbearing aged women is a high priority at Proof Alliance. A variety of tools are used to reach women who are pregnant or who could become pregnant. Proof Alliance coordinates community-based grants to agencies who are working to spread the prevention messages. And Proof Alliance also participates in established baby fairs and community events. Free educational posters, brochures, and other unique tools are shared across the state. In 2019, a statewide multi-media public awareness campaign was launched to spread the message that there is no safe amount of alcohol to consume during pregnancy. This campaign included TV spots, social media ads, billboards, bus shelters and bus card signs, and targeted search advertising that culminated in a new website, FASDproof,org, that shared all our work in one place. A revamped version of this campaign will launch in late 2020.
