It always pays well to think about safety in your day-to-day life. The National Safety Council (NSC) has long helped people across the nation do just that through its monthly safety awareness campaigns. At Golomb Legal., we want everyone in our communities to be safe, sound, and up-to-speed about any safety suggestions that could apply to them, so we wanted to take a moment to share the September NSC Safety Month here.
Special safety campaigns from the NSC in September include:
- National Alcohol & Drug Addiction Recovery Month: Millions of Americans struggle with substance abuse disorders. September is dedicated to helping them remember that they aren’t alone and that there are options out there to seek help, regardless of an individual’s economic situation.
