Diversity Month Themes

This month, we celebrate the following Diversity Holidays(1)

Asian American and Native Hawaiian/Pacific Islander Heritage Month (AANHPI) honors the rich and diverse contributions of Asian Americans in US history and culture. Celebrated as Asian Heritage Month in Canada.

Jewish American Heritage Month recognizes the diverse contributions of the Jewish people to American culture. Celebrated as Jewish Heritage Month in Canada.

Mental Health Awareness Month (or Mental Health Month) in the US aims to raise awareness and educate the public about mental illnesses and reduce the stigma that surrounds mental illnesses.

National Military Appreciation Month is observed in the US to honor the service and sacrifice of the men and women of the United States Armed Forces, as well as their families.

Older Americans Month honors the legacies and contributions of older Americans and supports them as they enter their next stage of life.

We are not all created the same, nor do we all come from the same ethnic background, but that is what makes the United States so unique. We are a land of immigrants from all walks of life. We must celebrate our differences and build each other up to make us stronger.  When groups don't all think alike, more progress occurs as we see things from different perspectives, and innovations are more likely to occur.
