October is Down Syndrome Awareness Month!
Zeta Phi Beta Sorority, Inc., Zeta Chi Zeta Graduate Chapter celebrates the abilities, achievements, and contributions of people with Down syndrome.
Each person has their own strengths, interests, goals, and support needs. A diagnosis does not define someone’s potential or worth!
Let’s turn awareness into action:
- Include people with Down syndrome in classrooms, workplaces, friendships, and community activities.
-Listen to their voices and respect their choices.
- Challenge stereotypes and speak up against bullying.
-Support opportunities for learning, employment, and independence.
