Lupus Awareness Month Toolkit
We can make lupus visible during Lupus Awareness Month by educating friends, family and others about lupus and its effects. We've put together a few bits of information to get you started.
Lupus Awareness Month is a name to be taken literally: it's the month of May where we all put in extra effort into letting the world know about lupus. We educate our communities and take to social media and let people know what lupus is, how it affects us and what we all can do about it.
Join the us in spreading awareness, educating others about lupus, and supporting those affected by this cruel disease throughout the month of May. Explore below for ways to get involved, access resources, and share information on social media to create greater awareness and understanding of lupus. Together, we can make a difference!
Follow us on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram to share our message and maximize awareness!
Living with an invisible illness like lupus can be isolating, and sometimes lead to judgment from others who don’t exactly understand the daily struggles. Most symptoms of lupus aren’t always readily visible, but on the inside, it can wreak havoc on your body, organs, and even cause emotional and mental strain.
Just because people can't see the pain, doesn't mean it's not there and potentially life-threatening.
Help bring visibility to lupus, even when it can’t be seen! Thank you for taking the pledge to continue raising awareness and help us make lupus visible year-round.
Telling your own story is one of the best ways to let your friends know about your connection to lupus. If you're looking for inspiration, start with one of these:
