Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD) Campaign
The County of Santa Clara’s Behavioral Health Services Department, in partnership with FIRST 5, has launched a campaign to support substance use prevention among women of childbearing age in Santa Clara County and their families. The campaign aims to increase knowledge about the causes, effects, and symptoms of Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders.
The Calming Kit is a set of tools that supports children and families with understanding and regulating emotions and lowering feelings of stress. By using the Calming Kit, children develop an understanding of their feelings to be better prepared to engage with others and learn. You can learn more about the Calming Kit on the Inclusion Collaborative website by clicking Learn More.
