Low Vision Awareness Month

Vision impairment, including low vision, affects millions of Americans, among them are many older adults. Vision impairment can make it hard to do things like reading, shopping, or cooking. And standard treatments like eyeglasses, contact lenses, medicines, and surgery can’t fix it completely. The good news is that vision rehabilitation services can help people with vision impairment learn how to stay independent and make the most of their sight.

Teen Dating Violence Awareness Month

1 in 3 U.S. teens will experience physical, sexual, or emotional abuse from someone they’re in a relationship with before they become adults. Nationwide, youth age 12 to 19 experience the highest rates of rape and sexual assault. And nearly half (43%) of U.S. college women report experiencing violent or abusive dating behaviors. This is an issue that impacts everyone not just teens, but their parents, teachers, friends and communities as well.
