About one to five percent of school-age children in the United States are living with fetal alcohol spectrum disorders — known as FASDs — developmental challenges caused by drinking alcohol during pregnancy. The numbers are higher for children in foster care.  

A Minnesota-based organization called Proof Alliance is working around the country to raise awareness of FASDs and support people who are impacted by them. 

DaKota Morgan, a participant in the organization’s youth programs who has an FASD, and Proof Alliance’s Executive Director, Mollie O’Brien joined Minnesota Now to talk about their work to raise awareness about FASDs.
