Have a healthy baby. Be an alcohol-free mother-to-be. The Partnership to Prevent Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders (FASD) was established by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration's (SAMHSA) Center for Substance Abuse Prevention (CSAP) in July 2001. The goal of the Partnership is to unite communities nationwide in a public health response to prevent FASD. The Partnership aims to empower mothers to deliver healthy babies by encouraging women who are planning a pregnancy or already pregnant to avoid alcohol. It also strives to foster social support among their significant others.

CSAP recognizes that prevention works best at the community level. With a network of local partners who understand the needs of specific areas, CSAP will initially implement the program in four community sites and later share these models with the national public health community. Various Partner Resources are available.
