Drug Free America Foundation (DFAF) is partnering with the National Alliance for Drug Endangered Children for their 2023 conference, Coming Together for Help, Hope, and Support, happening on August 29 - 31st in Kansas City, Missouri.
We're excited to announce that DFAF has kicked off our Marijuana and Pregnancy project in the state of Florida and is focused on reducing the number of women using marijuana while pregnant and breastfeeding.
Expanding legalization across the country has created an ever increasing question about fetal and neonatal exposure to the compounds found in marijuana. As research continues, the medical community is uncovering many more risks than benefits making education a priority to protect our developing and newly born babies.
Studies have linked marijuana use during pregnancy with a number of adverse health effects on the developing child such as low birth weight, fetal growth restriction, preterm birth, increased NICU admission, stillbirth, and later development of problem behaviors and mental health conditions in middle childhood which is continued into adolescence and young adulthood.
We're proud to announce the 14th annual anniversary observance of NATIONAL DRUG-FREE WORK WEEK, OCTOBER 17 - 23, 2022! This yearly public awareness campaign highlights the importance of a drug-free workplace and encourages workers with alcohol and drug problems to seek help.
