World Mental Health Day | 10 October

Today is a reminder that looking after our mental health is just as important as looking after our physical health.

Life can feel overwhelming sometimes. You might be struggling with anxiety, feeling low, feeling lonely, or simply finding things harder than usual. You don’t have to deal with it on your own.

Talk to someone you trust.
Check in on a friend or loved one.
Take a moment for yourself.

𝗦𝘁𝗼𝗽𝘁𝗼𝗯𝗲𝗿 is a great opportunity to quit smoking and start feeling the benefits of a smoke-free life. 🚭💙

Giving up smoking is one of the best things you can do for your health. From the moment you stop, your body begins to recover, and over time you can reduce your risk of heart disease, stroke, lung disease and many cancers. ❤️

Quitting can be challenging, but you don't have to rely on willpower alone. There is support available to help you manage cravings, choose suitable stop-smoking treatments and find practical ways to stay on track. 🤝

Taking part in Stoptober gives you the chance to join thousands of other people making a quit attempt this October. Even if you've tried before, don't be discouraged – every quit attempt can bring you closer to stopping for good. 🌟

You could also notice benefits such as breathing more easily, having more energy, improving your sense of taste and smell, and saving money. 💷

Make this October the month you take your first step towards becoming smoke-free. 🚭

Looking after your s*xual health is an important part of your overall wellbeing. Whether it's attending cervical screening, getting vaccinated against HPV or seeking advice when you need it, small steps can make a big difference. 🌸

Cervical screening (smear tests) is offered to eligible women and people with a cervix to help prevent cervical cancer. It checks for high-risk types of human papillomavirus (HPV), a common virus that most people will have at some point in their lives. In most cases HPV causes no problems, but some types can increase the risk of cervical cancer if left untreated. 🩺

Cervical screening can detect HPV before it causes abnormal cell changes, meaning treatment can be offered early if needed. It is one of the best ways to protect yourself against cervical cancer. 💜

You can also help protect yourself by:
✔️ Attending cervical screening when invited.
✔️ Ensuring your children receive the HPV vaccination when offered.
✔️ Practising safer s*x.
✔️ Speaking to a healthcare professional if you have any concerns about your s*xual health.

If you receive your invitation for cervical screening, don't put it off. It could save your life. 💙
