September 2024 - “Our stories and traditions are the foundations of our strength and unity.” — Sandra Cisneros

This month there are diverse observations for us to highlight! We are recognizing Deaf Awareness Month (9/23-9/29 - International Week of the Deaf), National Recovery Month, Suicide Prevention Month (9/10 - Word Suicide Prevention Day), and Hispanic Heritage Month (9/15-10/15). While these observations occur this month, we will continue to raise awareness for disability rights, substance use disorders, mental health, racial equity throughout the year!
