Chronic Migraine Proclamations
Proclamations are a great way to help spread the word within a community about a cause. What is a Proclamation exactly? It is a legal-looking document that a Mayor issues that states this day is officially “Migraine and Headache Awareness Month” for the city or state in June. It is a small PR gesture many communities are already doing for Migraine and Headache Awareness Month. Your city could be next!
National Migraine and Headache Awareness Month #MHAM
MHAM History
The National Headache Foundation (NHF) began Migraine and Headache Awareness Week. In 2012 MHAM transitioned to Migraine and Headache Awareness Month (MHAM). Each year the NHF sets a theme for the month. In 2012 purple was designated the official awareness color to represent migraine and headache disorders by several organization, this effort was spearheaded by Teri Robert, as well as the creation of the purple ribbon. CMA, inc maintains recognition of the color purple and includes a red stripe to differentiate Chronic Migraine, this effort was spearheaded by Catherine Charrette-Dykes. Chronic Migraine Awareness Day, June 29th, was also designated as the official recognition day for Chronic Migraine. In 2018 the Federal Government officially recognized National National Migraine and Headache Awareness Month as a National Health Observance. This recognition effort was led by Chronic Migraine Awareness, Inc and spearheaded by team member Jeannette Rotondi. Below we note the specific CMA, Inc Initiative. Please visit our Resource Section or www.migraineheadacheawarenessmonth.org to see how you can participate in other MHAM events activities.
