Our mission at NOFAS-VA is to support families and individuals living with FASD, to educate the public in the state of Virginia about the effects of FASD, to support those living with it and their families, and to aid in the prevention of this disorder. By doing so, we strive to ensure that FASD is broadly recognized as a developmental disability, thereby reducing its stigma and improving the quality of life for affected individuals and families.
