Balance Awareness Week
“Balance Awareness Week exists to shine a light on ‘invisible’ balance disorders. When everyone is more aware, we can better understand the vestibular experience and be empathetic to those who need our support—family, friends, co-workers, and neighbors."
- VeDA, Vestibular Disorders Association, 2021
