June begins with Sleep Disorder Awareness Week
and National Cancer Survivor’s DayOnline Marketing Gurus extol the effectiveness of piggy-backing posts onto particular events – how about one or several of the ones below?
They make GREAT, positive writing prompts!Mark your blogging calendars!
Many days of the year have been set aside every month to promote awareness or advocacy of an issue, illness, disability, or special-needs related cause.
In addition to a calendar for the current month, each Awareness post attempts to offer a list highlighting important days and weeks that impact and intersect with mental health challenges — reminders for health problems that intersect, exacerbate or create additional problems with cognition, mood, memory, follow-through and attention management.
If I’ve missed anything, please let me know in a comment so that I can add it to the list below.
I pray that 2017 will be the year
when EVERYONE becomes aware of
the crying need for upgraded mental health Awareness —
