Make FASD History videos
The purpose of the 'Make FASD History' videos is to raise awareness of FASD and it's impact on the lives of children, their families and communities. The videos will also be used to promote the work of Telethon Kids Institute researchers and their Marulu Strategy partners Nindilingarri Cultural Health Services and Marninwarntikura Women's Resource Centre.
We acknowledge the families and children who appear in the videos and thank them for sharing their stories. These are very personal and emotive journeys.
The videos were funded by the Western Australian Government Department of Health.
We also acknowledge the film maker, Paul Bell, and his production team at Feral Films.
