Deaf Awareness Month is observed every September to celebrate Deaf culture, sign languages, and the identity of Deaf, Hard of Hearing, and Deaf Blind communities. It highlights communication access, history, and achievements while addressing daily barriers in education, jobs, and healthcare.

September is globally recognized as National Suicide Prevention Awareness Month, a dedicated time to reduce the stigma surrounding mental health, share educational resources, and remember those affected by suicide.
