JJAMD encourages everyone--both patients and professionals--who
has an interest in TMJ or other allied disorders with overlapping pain and
dysfunction signs and symptoms, to participate in “JAW JOINTS – TMJ AWARENESS
MONTH®” You can read all about this by clicking into our “On-Line Library” and
reading the Congressional Proclamation by Congressman Barney Frank, which was
authored by us and appears in the Congressional Record of September 30, 1997.
This Proclamation names November and all future Novembers as “JAW JOINTS –TMJ AWARENESS MONTH®.” The Proclamation
may be downloaded and used verbatim as the basis for events in your area such
as lectures, meetings at you local libraries or other events you might be able
to organize or arrange. You may also help to bring awareness by downloading the
Draft Press Release which we have put into the On-Line Library, and sending
it to your local Press, Radio, and TV media.
