I stand in solidarity for all people of colour. Being a decent of black ancestors I understand the oppression and fight that has been faced for generations. My heart hurts 💔 enough is enough, but please stay aware about what happens on your own home soil #blacklivesmatter

Fellow Australian’s I see that fire in your belly, I see that energy.

I wanna see that same energy when we need you here.

The next time a police officer kills one of my brothers or sisters here in Australia and it will happen, I need to see that energy.

This is your fight too

FYI Close the gap and closing the gap aren’t the same thing…

Close the gap was a campaign calling on government to do better.

Closing the gap was what govt called their response so they could blur the optics between them and pretend there is no protest, just a govt initiative.

A doctor encourages other doctors to be braver in speaking with women about the danger of consuming any alcohol during pregnancy as statistics show many still aren't aware of the potential impact alcohol can have on their baby.

Meanwhile, as commentators continue to froth about whether a sexual assault survivor should have smiled more, some of today's headlines in the @westaustralian.

In light of what has occurred across the country, having closely assessed the situation over east and listening to the latest health advice, we have reworked WA’s Safe Transition Plan to fit the environment that now confronts us.

Borrowed from a friend’s feed this morning. A good reminder that the holidays are not joyful all the time, for everyone. Be patient. Be kind. #fasdinformed

#everymomentcounts 👏🏽 what a positively enforced campaign! @FAREAustralia #FASDawareness

[FASD Hub Australia @FASDHub]

Launched today, the national awareness campaign from @FAREAustralia has a clear message - alcohol can harm a baby throughout pregnancy from conception to birth. Great to see this explained in a positive, empowering way.

[FARE @FAREAustralia]

Every Moment Matters is a new national campaign supporting Australians to stop drinking alcohol through all the moments of pregnancy.

Can interventions reduce the risk of alcohol exposed pregnancies during the preconception period? A systematic review by @DrNatashaReid @UQMedicine & others

[NOFASD Australia @NOFASDAustralia]

Recently released research states that it is crucial for prenatal and other healthcare providers to provide a clear, evidence-based message for women about the risks of alcohol use in pregnancy, including #FASD.

Suicide risk factors are being incorrectly stated as suicide CAUSES. So:
• Poverty is not the cause of suicide
• Abuse is not the cause of suicide
• Alcohol is not the cause of suicide, nor is FASD
• They are all risk factors, but they are not CAUSES https://t.co/glsML6fAAG

FASD Hub Australia is conducting a survey seeking feedback from their website users on its accessibility, content and usefulness. The website provides evidence-based content about alcohol & pregnancy, & #FASD in Aus.

Take the survey now (Closes 12 Nov): https://t.co/Vbmjqk1UmZ

A powerful TV feature about #FASD from New Zealand. This 20 minute documentary is worth sharing with anyone in your life who needs to understand more about the cause and impacts of this widespread, but very much under-recognised disability.

WA Labor voted over the weekend to increase the age of criminality from 10 to 14.

We congratulate and thank the WA Labor Party for moving to make this a part of their party policy.

For teachers out there 📣📣📣. There is a fair probability that you are currently teaching or have taught #FASD kiddos, the majority of which will be undiagnosed or misdiagnosed.
These will be the “ naughty, throwing things, work refusal ” kids.
You can accommodate them #FASD 🇦🇺

[NOFASD Australia @NOFASDAustralia]

There is mounting evidence that alcohol use during pregnancy is not just a maternal issue. That's right: Men who are looking to have children would almost certainly do well to watch their alcohol consumption, too.
