Medic Alert Awareness Month

August 1 All day

August is National MedicAlert Awareness Month. Founded in 1956, MedicAlert Foundation developed the first universal medical identification system. It all started with the simple idea that sharing critical medical information in an emergency could save and protect lives. 

That idea has since grown into a multinational non-profit organization, helping save over 4 million lives.

WellBeings.org is a health and wellness resource, not a crisis or suicide response website. If you are in crisis, or experiencing thoughts of suicide, please call or text the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline at 988 or the LGBT National Hotline at (888) 843-4564. The service is free and available 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
