October is National Disability Employment Awareness Month. Join us as we celebrate workers with disabilities and discuss the importance of disability inclusion. Thanks, National Association of Chronic Disease Directors (NACDD) and CDC!

October is National Disability Employment Awareness Month (NDEAM). This is a month for celebrating workers with disabilities and the value they add to workplaces. NDEAM’s purpose is for workplaces to commit to making sure disabled workers have access to good jobs, every month of every year. That’s the idea behind this year’s theme: “Access to Good Jobs for All.”

NACDD’s Disability Inclusion Network for To***co Control and Cancer Prevention believes that to have ‘good jobs for all’ we need to have healthy workplaces for all.

Follow along this month as we celebrate NDEAM and share tips on how workplaces can best support employees with disabilities to make sure they are happy, healthy, and successful.

Image Description: A navy-blue background with text “National Disability Employment Awareness Month”, and website dol.gov/odep. Various photos of people with and without disabilities in their workplaces. “Access to good jobs for All Means a Healthy Workplace for All.” An image of a navy-blue road.
