Raising or caring for a child with FASD comes with unique joys and real challenges. MassFASD is here to help — with peer support, guidance, and community.
Join our Massachusetts peer-led FASD caregiver support groups — a space for caregivers, parents, and guardians to share experiences, find encouragement, and connect with others who understand.
Support for Families & Caregivers
FASD is often misunderstood — and birth mothers can face stigma that no one should face alone. You are not alone. Support is here — from people who understand and truly care.
Support for Biological Parents
Recovering Mothers Anonymous (RMA) is a fellowship of women who share their experience, strength, and hope with one another — finding community, healing, and support together. Weekly virtual groups are open to all.
Founded by Kathy Mitchell — who created the Circle of Hope birth mother mentorship program in 2004 and Recovering Mothers Anonymous in 2020 — RMA partners with medical facilities across the U.S. to provide training and support.
If you or someone you know is pregnant and needs support with alcohol use, help is available:
