2026 Life Insurance Awareness Month

September is Life Insurance Awareness Month (LIAM) —
an opportunity to bring life insurance conversations to the forefront and remind clients
how coverage can help protect the people, plans, and futures that matter most.

Throughout the month, we’re making it easier to start those conversations. Explore the resources, tools, and client-friendly materials we’ve gathered to help you
engage clients, uncover needs, and demonstrate how life insurance can support both today’s priorities and tomorrow’s goals.

The LIAM initiative was created by Life Happens, a nonprofit organization dedicated to helping Americans understand the value of life insurance. As a trusted resource for unbiased insurance and financial education, Life Happens offers a variety of materials designed to make life insurance easier to understand.

September is a great opportunity to help clients consider how life insurance fits into their financial plans and provides protection for the people they care about most. Share Life Happens’ Life Insurance 101 resources with prospective clients to help educate, start conversations, and encourage action.
