Today marks R U OK Day

Today, we’re joining forces with R U OK? to highlight the importance of staying connected and making it a habit to ask, “are you OK?” regularly. This simple question can show someone who might be facing challenges, whether big or small, that they are cared for and supported.

By sincerely asking, “are you OK?” and being ready to listen to their feelings and experiences, we can offer a sense of connection and support before they reach a crisis point. You don’t have to be a professional to check in with someone. Make time for ongoing conversations about the highs and lows of life to build trust.

Ask R U OK? because a conversation has the power to change a life. If you require immediate help or emotional support, Lifeline is available at 13 11 14.
R U OK? is a national organization committed to encouraging regular, meaningful dialogues to aid anyone facing tough times. Learn more at ruok.org.au.

.net.au share some valuable information and tips on how to prevent and treat Influenza. The flu, or influenza, is an infectious disease caused by the influenza virus, which triggers annual epidemics. The most common strains are types A and B.

Type A can cause pandemics, as seen with the Spanish flu of 1918, due to its high mutation rate and ability to infect various animals. Type B is generally less severe and mostly affects humans, leading to seasonal outbreaks.

Each year, the flu impacts millions, imposing health care and economic burdens. In the U.S., it leads to thousands of hospitalizations and deaths annually. Vaccination and hygiene practices, like hand washing and mask-wearing during flu season, are crucial for controlling its spread.

The prevalence of myopia among 12-year-olds has doubled in six years due to increased screen time. This rise in screen exposure harms children's eye health, causing strain, blurred vision, and headaches, worsening nearsightedness.

Reduced outdoor activities, important for eye development, add to the issue since natural light is vital for good vision. Promoting healthier screen habits and more outdoor time is essential to protect young people's eyesight.
