What is HADDS Awareness Month?
HADDS Awareness Month was created by the Foundation in 2019 to rally our community around a central focus -- raising HADDS Awareness and celebrating each other!
Being part of a rare community is an opportunity to be ambassadors and teachers within local communities, educating others about HADDS.
How can you get involved?
There are plenty of ways to get involved, and the calendar of events showcases major events occurring throughout the month. Some folks participate in all events, while others pick and choose what fits with their schedule!
If you have questions, reach out to info@hadds.org.

This award is new in 2021! As a complement to #HADDSLOVE week, the Foundation would like to recognize and reward individuals that work diligently to teach, strengthen and encourage individuals living with HADDS. Families can nominate individuals for the award.
HADDS Goes to School
Peer awareness and inclusion are very important for growth, which is why we encourage all of our school age families to host an event.
