June is Children’s Awareness Month — a time to celebrate, support, and empower the next generation of leaders!
Did you know the name June comes from the Latin “juvenis,” meaning youth? Here at District 2, we are honoring the joy of childhood and reminding others to prioritize children’s health, well-being, and futures.
This awareness month was originally founded to remember children lost to violence. This awareness initiative has grown into a powerful movement of love, awareness, and action.
We encourage you to post a picture showcasing a child’s creativity or individuality! Tag District 2 DPH and use the hashtags provided below!
