Dwarfism Awareness Month (DAM)

Mission of LPA

"LPA is dedicated to improving the quality of life for people with dwarfism throughout their lives while celebrating with great pride Little People’s contribution to social diversity.  LPA strives to bring solutions and global awareness to the prominent issues affecting individuals of short stature and their families."

Hundreds of health-related observances have been declared and are celebrated each year, like Autism Awareness Month (April), Breast Cancer Awareness (October), and the Red Ribbon Campaign (October) along with many lesser known medical conditions.    It is time for LPA to celebrate our community as well!

2025 Dwarfism Awareness/Pride Month Activities

Throughout the month of October, LPA has a number of activities occurring.  Be sure to follow us on Facebook or Instagram for our daily posts.  There will be trivia, historical posts, and a few surprises throughout the month.  We are excited to again be hosting "Takeover Tuesdays" - follow along as a different social media influencer takes over our accounts for the day. 

We have a series of virtual discussions on a number of topics planned.  We are finalizing the webinars now, and will update this page with titles, descriptions and registration links.  Check back often as new webinars are being added.  ALL sessions will require an active LPA membership to register.  We hope you can join us, but if you miss one of them, check back here for a post to the recordings and/or materials shared.
