Each year, The Council for Disability Awareness joins forces with others in the insurance industry to raise awareness about the importance of income protection. In 2017, The Council for Disability Awareness executed an exciting campaign heavily focused on millennial adults. Their outreach targeted millennials in two distinct life stages:
- Younger millennials, recently graduated from college and beginning their careers, and adult lives.
- Older millennials, reaching life milestones such as marriage, home ownership, and parenthood.

The DIAM campaign from Life Happens offers you the perfect opportunity to talk to people in your community about their disability insurance needs—at a time when it may already be on their minds. Life Happens offers you a wide range of tools and resources to make that job easier. Explore the different sections to find which materials are right for you.”
Disability Insurance Awareness Month is a time when the insurance industry comes together to do something about the enormous gap that exists between Americans’ need for disability insurance and the actual coverage they have.
Disability insurance is the most overlooked of the major types of insurance.
That’s likely because many people think a disabling illness or injury will never happen to them. But according to a Life Happens survey, a person has a three in 10 chance of suffering a disabling illness or injury that would keep them out of work for three months or more during their career.
