HOT SAFETY TOPICS THIS MONTH
|
|
|
|
|
Sexual Abuse Awareness Month
|
Nearly 1 in 5 women and 1 in 71 men are victims of rape. But all of us are impacted by sexual violence. That’s because sexual violence affects communities and society — in addition to survivors and their loved ones. Because of this, it’s on all of us to help prevent it.
Sexual violence is a widespread problem!

|
Child Abuse Awareness Month
|
Throughout the month of April, Prevent Child Abuse America and its state chapters are building a narrative of hope for children and families through collaboration and the creation of an ecosystem of primary prevention. Communities must build positive futures together in partnership!
|
|
|
|
Alcohol Awareness Month is a great opportunity to update your knowledge about alcohol, alcohol use disorder, and their impacts on health and society. Alcohol-related problems continue to exact an immense toll on individuals, families, and communities.
|
|
Today, misconceptions of autism and the frequency in which people are excluded, threaten access to the vital information, resources and support autistic people and their families need. This World Autism Month and beyond, join Autism Speaks in a steadfast commitment to autism allyship and advocacy, and sign our PLEDGE to #ActFearlesslyforChange.

|
National Youth Sports Safety Month
|
National Youth Sports Safety Month is observed in April to bring much-needed awareness to sports injuries and physical trauma encumbered upon the youths. Intending to promote safety at the playground, the observation promotes the collective measures that the parents, coaches, and kids on the playfield can take to ensure safe outdoor engagements every day.

|
|
Testicular Cancer Awareness Month
|
Testicular cancer is the leading cancer in men 15-44, but can strike any age, yet it’s hardly talked about. Every hour a male is diagnosed, and every day a life is lost. Monthly self-exams and early detection are key! Testicular Cancer is over 95% curable when detected early.
Learn More about spreading awareness and self exams!

Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month

March is Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month: A time to raise awareness about the disease, its prevention and treatment options.
These cancers can be called colon cancer or rectal cancer depending on where they start, according to the American Cancer Society.

Currently, over 100,000 people are waiting in line for organ, eye, or tissue transplants in the United States.

Stress can be debilitating, and it can cause and/or aggravate health problems. And since stress is a normal part of human existence — nobody is immune to it — it’s important to arm ourselves with knowledge so that we recognize when stress rears its ugly head. (Amazingly, we don’t always notice it’s happening to us.) Stress Awareness Month happens each April.
|
|
Defeat Diabetes Month is observed in April each year. It is the initiative of the Defeat Diabetes Foundation (D.D.F.). It is projected that around 643 million people worldwide will be living with diabetes by 2030. Through this observation, the D.D.F. raises awareness about the preventable nature of Type 2 diabetes and focuses on the multitude of lifestyle and dietary changes that can be implemented to minimize the chances of contracting the disease.
