Education & Awareness

At the Children's Diabetes Foundation, we are committed to empowering children, families, and communities by providing essential education and raising awareness about type 1 diabetes.

Programs | Education & Awareness

Through engaging programs, resources, and collaborative events, we work to ensure that everyone impacted by this condition has the knowledge they need to thrive. Our initiatives include tabling events, educational materials, and in-person support that offer practical guidance, as well as outreach campaigns to foster greater understanding and empathy in the broader community. By promoting awareness, we aim to dispel myths, reduce stigma, and inspire positive change.

Raising Awareness

The Education & Awareness Committee conducts a widespread campaign for awareness of symptoms, treatment and life skills for diabetes. This dedicated group endeavors to find ways to continuously inform the public concerning the signs and symptoms of type 1 diabetes in hopes of stimulating awareness and diagnosis.

The Committee distributes informational materials to schools, libraries, hospitals, emergency personnel, and other organizations in hopes to facilitate early recognition of symptoms. The committee also volunteers at school and community health fairs and events to further educate the public about type 1 diabetes.
