Migraine and Headache Awareness Month (MHAM) 2019 The American Migraine Foundation recognizes MHAM with the migraine community June is Migraine and Headache Awareness Month, a dedicated time for healthcare providers, patient advocates and the migraine community to stand up and speak out for migraine recognition and treatment. The 2019 theme is “Sowing the Seeds for a Cure,” and the American Migraine Foundation is looking forward to working with its partners and the migraine community to champion advocacy efforts and raise awareness around this disabling disease. Highlighting Advocacy in the United States and Beyond Throughout the month, the American Migraine Foundation will be sharing resources and patient stories to promote hope and highlight the importance of advocacy. “Advocacy takes many forms,” said AMF Director Nim Lalvani. “It could range from telling a family member that you live with migraine to fighting for migraine-friendly policies in the broader community.” AMF’s billboard in Times Square will also evolve to reflect the emphasis on advocacy, and recognize Migraine and Headache Awareness Month. “There is no more fitting time or place to raise awareness of a disease that affects so many people in the United States and beyond,” said Lalvani. Migraine and Headache Awareness Month also paves the way for World Brain Day, held annually on July 22. This year, WBD is focused on migraine, providing an opportunity to elevate the patient voice and put migraine on the global stage.
