Recognizing Our Diverse Community
Held every year on May 21st, the World Day for Cultural Diversity for Dialogue and Development celebrates not only the richness of the world's cultures, but also the essential role of intercultural dialogue for achieving peace and sustainable development. This is the United Nations–sanctioned observance day for the promotion of diversity and intercultural dialogue. You can learn more HERE.
May is Skin Cancer Awareness Month. Learn preventative skin care habits and seek screenings for early intervention. Skin cancer is the most common cancer in the United States, and it's also one of the most preventable. Wearing sun protection either in the form of clothing or broad-spectrum, water-resistant sunscreen and seeking shade when outdoors is the first line of defense. You can learn more HERE.
May is World Stroke Month. Many health and heart organizations come together every May to raise awareness about the causes and effects of stroke. One of their biggest campaigns is FAST (Face, Arm, Speech, Time), teaching the world to know the symptoms of stroke and how to respond quickly to help save a life. You can learn more HERE.
