By raising awareness, we can help create a more supportive and inclusive environment for those affected by this disorder.

There are various ways to support Dissociative Identity Disorder Awareness Day, such as sharing information about DID on social media, participating in awareness events and activities, educating yourself and others about the disorder, and supporting organizations that work to raise awareness and provide resources for individuals with DID.
