For individuals living with sickle cell disease, dehydration and prolonged exposure to high temperatures may increase the risk of complications.

Sickle cell advocacy begins when we choose to listen, learn and stand with those affected.

It means creating space for the voices and experiences of individuals living with sickle cell disease, increasing understanding within our communities and advocating for access to compassionate, informed and equitable care.

Every conversation, shared resource and act of support can help move awareness into action. Together, we can continue building communities where individuals and families affected by sickle cell disease feel seen, heard and supported.

Supporting the sickle cell community can look different for everyone. It may mean donating blood, volunteering at community events, sharing educational resources, making a financial contribution or simply helping spread awareness.

When communities come together, we can continue creating opportunities, resources and support for individuals and families affected by sickle cell disease.

Back-to-school season includes more than shopping for supplies. It's also an opportunity to review emergency plans, communicate with school staff and ensure your child's health needs are clearly understood.

Planning ahead can help create a safer and more supportive learning environment throughout the school year.

Early diagnosis plays an important role in helping individuals living with sickle cell disease receive the care and support they need. When sickle cell disease is identified early, families can work with healthcare providers to develop treatment plans, monitor symptoms and reduce the risk of complications.

Awareness, education and screening all contribute to better outcomes and stronger support systems for those affected by the disease. Together, we can help ensure that more individuals receive the information and care they need to thrive.

Awareness can lead to earlier diagnoses, stronger support systems, increased access to resources and better health outcomes for those affected.
