BrightStar Care of Fairfax Celebrates Helen Keller Deaf-Blind Awareness Week

Inspiring Connections for All Seniors alike

In recognition of the achievements of people who are deaf-blind, the Helen Keller National Center for Deaf-Blind Youths, Adults, & Seniors (HKNC) celebrates the last week in June as “Helen Keller Deaf-Blind Awareness Week.” In 2019, we are celebrating Helen Keller Deaf-Blind Awareness Week from June 23rd to June 29th.

The theme this year is MAKING CONNECTIONS WITH THE DEAF-BLIND COMMUNITY.

The essence of the message is that sometimes when you least expect it, you experience an interaction that can change your life forever. We want to inspire people to look for those moments and consciously create mutually awe-inspiring connections inclusive of members of the deaf-blind community. HKNC and its partners are engaging with people who are deaf-blind and making real connections. We all have the power to connect and create relationships that transcend any of our differences and bring enrichment to our lives and to our community.
