World Hepatitis Day

World Hepatitis Day | July 28

Protecting tiny livers, one child at a time.

Hepatitis is a silent threat that doesn’t care about age, innocence, or bedtime routines.

And here’s the truth: children are not immune.

Whether it’s Hepatitis A, B, or C, kids can be exposed early in life through unclean environments, lack of access to vaccines, or even during childbirth. And many won’t show symptoms until damage is already done.

But here’s the good news:
Prevention is powerful.
Education is essential.
Advocacy is urgent.

Vaccinate early. Hepatitis B vaccine is safe, effective, and life-saving—especially when given at birth.

Practice good hygiene. Handwashing? Still undefeated.
Teach and talk. Kids listen. They understand more than we give them credit for.

Our goal? A future where no child has to fight a preventable liver disease.
Because children should be worried about monkey bars, not medical bills.

This World Hepatitis Day, let’s commit to making the invisible visible.
Speak up. Show up. Protect our littles.

Ableism and Neurodivergent Students: The Hidden Barrier to College Success and Early Adult Thriving

Ableism and Neurodivergent Students: The Hidden Barrier to College Success and Early Adult Thriving Ableism remains one of the most deeply entrenched yet often invisible systems of discrimination in higher education and early adulthood, profoundly affecting neurodivergent individuals who are navigating critical developmental transitions. While colleges and universities have made substantial progress in recognizing the academic capabilities of neurodivergent students—with college enrollments of students reporting disabilities rising by more than fifty percent over the past decade [4] [4] —the systemic ableist attitudes, policies, and practices that pervade campus environments continue to undermine their well-being, sense of belonging, and long-term success.
