Stroke Awareness Month is observed every May to educate the public about the signs, symptoms, and risk factors of strokes. The goal is to increase awareness and encourage individuals to seek immediate medical attention if they or someone else experiences stroke symptoms, which can include sudden numbness, confusion, or difficulty speaking. During this month, various organizations, including the American Stroke Association, promote resources and information to help people understand how to prevent strokes. Activities may include community events, educational campaigns, and social media outreach to spread knowledge about maintaining a healthy lifestyle and recognizing the importance of timely treatment.
