There’s No NEAM Without ME
November is National Epilepsy Awareness Month (NEAM), and this year, we’re taking big actions!
Our theme is “There is no NEAM without ME”. We chose this theme because November is all about our community — YOU. Without your collaboration and support, we wouldn’t be able to build a seizure safe nation. Together with you, we can raise awareness and funds, educate the general public about the epilepsies and seizures, and push for more research to improve outcomes for you.
During this month, we are highlighting individuals and partners in our community who are using their stories, talents and efforts to help people with epilepsy overcome the challenges that come with their diagnosis.
What’s Your NEAM Action?
Without you, there is no epilepsy awareness, education, advocacy, or research. Let’s continue to be resilient and build awareness for our community.
Let’s take action together and make November the loudest and purple-est National Epilepsy Awareness Month ever for YOU! Be everywhere. Educate everyone. There are many ways you can get involved:
- Use YOUR voice to educate and build community by posting your NEAM action on your social media channels. Use #MyNEAMAction and tell us how you raise awareness in your community. A few ideas to get you started:
- Post a seizure first aid poster at work or school
- Sign up for a free seizure first aid training
- Put on your favorite purple outfit
- Volunteer as an Epilepsy Awareness Ambassador
- Register for a Walk to END EPILEPSY or Fundraise Your Way
- Get creative and come up with other ways to spread awareness
- Make some noise on social media by downloading and sharing these graphics.
- Donate to help grow YOUR Foundation and make a difference by:
Quick Facts About Epilepsy
- 1 in 10 people will have a seizure and 1 in 26 will develop epilepsy during their lifetime.
- There are 3.4 million people living with epilepsy in the United States; 470,000 of them are children.
- Epilepsy is a neurological disorder that can affect any one of us regardless of race, age, or gender.
- Seizures are a symptom of epilepsy. Not all seizures are the same. Many people with epilepsy have more than one type of seizure.
We’re Here for You
Epilepsy affects everyone. Everywhere. Period. Thanks to YOU, we have upped our game to better serve YOU. We:
- Provide programs and education to make a safer place for YOU. From live On-Demand certification courses to 30-minute basic steps training, our seizure first aid program educates the public on approved procedures for recognizing seizures and responding to someone having a seizure.
- Raise awareness and funds to help and serve YOU at the local level. There are 19 regional Walk to END EPILEPSY® events throughout the country focused on raising awareness and at least $1.5M combined to fund research, programs, and access to specialty care for people with epilepsy.
- Advocate for new laws to address issues that affect YOU. Our Seizure Safe Schools nationwide initiative calls for state legislation for school personnel to have appropriate training and policies to support students living with epilepsy and seizures; to date, 19 states have passed legislation.
- Invest in research and innovation to bring new therapies and technology to YOU faster than ever. The Shark Tank Competition is one of several initiatives that advance the development and commercialization of the most promising ideas for the diagnosis and treatment of epilepsy; since 2012, the Epilepsy Foundation has distributed $1.65M to 33 Shark Tank winners.
Help us keep the momentum going this November and participate in our social media campaign, #MyNEAMAction, to spread awareness in your community. Remember to use #NEAM2022: #MyNEAMAction.

Cervical Health Awareness Month
The United States Congress designated January as Cervical Health Awareness Month. More than 14,000 women in the United States are diagnosed with invasive cervical cancer each year, but the disease is preventable with vaccination and appropriate screening.
During January, NCCC and its many local chapters across the country highlight issues related to cervical cancer, HPV disease and the importance of early detection. While NCCC chapters host events throughout the year, January is a month with a special focus as chapters celebrate Cervical Health Awareness Month and work to spread the word in their communities.
NCCC and the American Sexual Health Association (ASHA) also offer a range of resources (listed below) to educate the public and healthcare providers about cervical health, from fact sheets to episodes of ASHA’s Sex+Health podcast.
What Can You Do?
As someone who is interested in educating and advocating for increased knowledge of cervical cancer and HPV disease, you can do a lot. You can contact your local media to encourage coverage of Cervical Health Awareness Month, offering this ASHA/NCCC press release. You can also send this proclamation to your mayor, or local legislative office to publicly recognize Cervical Health Awareness Month.
You can also check out the resources on this page—download, display and distribute our cervical cancer awareness month posters and help NCCC and ASHA get the word out on social media.

Event Details
The National Association for Health and Fitness (NAHF) was founded in 1979 by the President’s Council on Physical Fitness, Sports and Nutrition and has as its vision that America shares in the social, economic, health and environmental benefits that come from living an active lifestyle. Our mission is to improve the quality of life for all individuals in the United States by promoting physical fitness, sports and healthy lifestyles. We also champion environmental and policy support for active living and encourage and share innovation in the United States. NAHF values active living (integrating physical activity into daily lives), community involvement and leadership development for all social sectors, promoting quality physical education in our schools, developing workforce health promotion programs and active-aging programs. With our focus on the states, NAHF “bridges the gap” between federal and local action and unites researcher and community practitioner.
America’s “challenge” of inspiring and empowering people to be physically active is vital to our nation’s human and economic health. At no other time in NAHF history has this Association’s mission and innovation in the United States been more relevant. NAHF members have been leaders in presenting capacity-building national meetings, development of user-friendly behavior change programs, and recognizing excellence and advocacy for policy and environmental support of active living through our annual Gold Star Awards and Glenn V. Swengros Award. Our award-winning worksite health promotion, Global Employee Health and Fitness Month, has resulted in thousands of employees leading healthier lives! USA school districts, universities, state and local governments, hospital systems, pharmacies, and public health departments have all been participants in the GEHFM initiatives.

Prevent Blindness Declares March as Workplace Eye Wellness Month to Educate on Ways to Protect Vision on the Job
Prevent Blindness has declared March as Workplace Eye Wellness Month to provide employers and employees with free information on the dangers of blue light, digital devices and vision, and eye injury prevention in order to promote eye health at work.
The largest source of blue light is sunlight. However, there is concern over the long-term effects of screen exposure (from television screens, computer monitors, smart phones, and tablet screens) because of the close proximity of the screens and the length of time spent looking at them, such as during the workday combined with leisure time. Early research shows that too much exposure to blue light could lead to:
Digital eyestrain – Fatigue, dry eyes, bad lighting, or how one sits in front of the computer can cause eyestrain. Symptoms of eyestrain include sore or irritated eyes and difficulty focusing.
Retina damage – Studies suggest that continued exposure to blue light over time could lead to damaged retinal cells. This can cause vision problems such as age-related macular degeneration or cataract. www.reviewofoptometry.com/ce/the-lowdown-on-blue-light-good-vs-bad-and-its-connection-to-amd-109744
According to a recent report from The Vision Council, “Blue Light Exposure and Digital Eye Strain,” 87 percent of survey respondents use digital devices more than two hours per day and over 52 percent regularly use two digital devices simultaneously.
Once again, Prevent Blindness is partnering with Healthe and its EyeSafe® technologies. Healthe will donate a portion of the sales of its EyeSafe products, including protective covers for digital phones, tablets and computer monitors that reduce exposure to harmful digital UV and High-Energy Visible (HEV) blue light emitted from such devices, to Prevent Blindness in support of its children’s eye health programs and resources.
“As we spend more and more time on digital devices, at work or at play, we need to make sure we take care of our vision,” said Hugh R. Parry, president and CEO of Prevent Blindness. “By talking to an eye care professional and getting the proper recommendations, we can make sure we protect our eyes for the future.”
To help prevent an eye injury at work, Prevent Blindness recommends:
- Know the eye safety dangers at work-complete an eye hazard assessment
- Eliminate hazards before starting work. Use machine guarding, work screens, or other engineering controls)
- Use proper eye protection such as non-prescription and prescription safety glasses, goggles, face shields, welding helmets, or full-face respirators.
Prevent Blindness also offers a Work Safety module as part of its free program, the Healthy Eyes Educational Series. Each module in the series includes a Presentation Guide and corresponding PowerPoint presentation on a relevant eye health topic such as adult eye disorders, eye anatomy, healthy living, low vision and various safety topics. Fact sheets can be downloaded at any time from the Prevent Blindness website for use as handouts to accompany the presentation.
To find out more about workplace eye health topics, please call Prevent Blindness at (800) 331-2020.

Event Details
Colorectal cancer is preventable, treatable and beatable. With your help, we can dare to imagine a world without it. The key is regular screenings—starting earlier than you might think.
Start screening at age 45 if you are at average risk. If you are at increased risk, you may need to be screened earlier or more often – talk with your doctor right away.
Most people think that colorectal cancer affects only older adults, but estimates suggest that by 2040, colorectal cancer will be the leading cause of cancer related death in adults aged 20-49. Learn more about colorectal cancer and screenings that are available.
Early detection of colorectal cancer can mean Better Outcomes: less extensive treatment, more treatment options and better chances of survival.
Join us in #ColorectalCancerAwarenessMonth by sharing how easy it is to get screened and why it matters to you. You never know who may need to hear your story.
