What is HIE Awareness Month?

Every April, HIE Awareness Month brings together families, advocates, medical professionals, and supporters from around the world to amplify voices, share powerful stories, and build a more connected, compassionate community. It is a time of remembrance, reflection, and renewed hope—a moment to honor every life impacted by Hypoxic Ischemic Encephalopathy (HIE), from those living with its lifelong effects to those we carry in our hearts.

This month is not only about raising awareness—it’s about sparking change. By coming together to educate others, elevate real experiences, and raise critical funds, we shine a light on this often-misunderstood condition and take meaningful steps toward prevention, early intervention, and better outcomes.

HIE Awareness Month is a call to action and a celebration of resilience. It reminds us that every voice matters, every story deserves to be heard, and every child deserves a future filled with possibility. Together, we can build a world where no family faces HIE alone—and no child’s future is lost to it.
