Pregnant Pause Events in New Jersey 2010 Sponsored by ARC

The Arc of New Jersey is sponsoring several Pregnant Pause events in New Jersey this year. A Pregnant Pause event is a fun filled educational event. Pregnant Pause events are generally held at participating restaurants, community, and health centers across NJ and last several hours. These events  set in a comfortable and safe environment and are packed with informative FASD education.

They feature knowledgeable speakers on FASD, showcase varied entertainment, administer relevant awards, and share generous donations and doorprizes from businesses like baby stores and local retailers who cater to expectant others. In addition, local restaurant ‘mixologists’ are present and create alcohol-free drinks for attendees while the local press takes coverage of the community events.
