Photo: Three babies, three health scenarios

These three baby dolls at Kuujjuaq’s Tulattavik health centre each represent a different health scenario: the baby on the left shows features of an infant exposed prenatally to drugs, the baby on the right shows features of fetal alcohol spectrum disorder (FASD), while the baby in the middle is considered healthy. A family coordinator based at the health centre uses those dolls to do FASD awareness and prenatal education for young families in the Nunavik community. It’s one of many services the health centre has integrated into its new family wellness project. Read more about the initiative next week at Nunatsiaqonline.ca. (PHOTO BY SARAH ROGERS)
