Developmental Disabilities Awareness Month: Supporting Mental Health Across Abilities
Each March, Developmental Disabilities Awareness Month highlights the importance of inclusion, understanding, and support for individuals with developmental disabilities.
Substance use and mental health are deeply interconnected. Many individuals turn to alcohol or other substances as a way to cope with emotional distress, anxiety, trauma, or chronic stress.
Each year, National Sleep Awareness Week (March 8–14) and World Sleep Day (March 13) bring attention to an often-overlooked truth: sleep is essential to both physical and mental health.
March 1 is Self-Injury Awareness Day, a time dedicated to increasing understanding, reducing stigma, and encouraging open, compassionate conversations around self-harm.
