October provides a number of health & safety awareness opportunities





The month of October offers several health and safety awareness events and activities for anyone who is trying to encourage or maintain a balanced life of health, wellness, and overall safety.

Schools, districts, companies, and other organizations looking to promote health and safety can do so by providing promotional items and materials to individuals affiliated with the organization and to the general public:
