🧠 October is Mental Health Month! 🌿
Wednesday 1 – Friday 31

This month, we come together to shine a light on mental health awareness and support. 💚
It’s a time to start conversations, share resources, and remind each other that it’s okay not to be okay.

Let’s break the stigma, show compassion, and support those around us. Whether through small acts of kindness, checking in on a friend, or prioritizing your own wellbeing — every action counts. 💬✨

💛 Carers Week – Offer a Break 💛

Caring for others is rewarding, but it can also be exhausting. One of the most meaningful ways we can support carers is by giving them the chance to rest and recharge. 🌸

Here are some simple ways to help:
✔️ Offer to take care of errands.
✔️ Lend a hand with chores—laundry, cleaning, cooking, or even budgeting and shopping.
✔️ Plan a fun outing or social activity together.

Let’s make sure the carers in our community know they don’t have to do it all alone. 💚

🌸 Carers Week Reminder 🌸

One of the best ways to show support for carers is by checking in with them regularly. A simple chat or message can make a world of difference. 💙

Here are a few thoughtful ways to help:
✔️ Give them space to talk if they’d like to share.
✔️ Acknowledge and validate their feelings without judgement.
✔️ Be mindful not to discuss sensitive topics in front of the person they care for, as it may cause discomfort.

Let’s all take a moment this week to show appreciation for the incredible carers in our lives. 💕

🗣️ October is AAC (Augmentative and Alternative Communication) Awareness Month!
From Wednesday, October 1 to Friday, October 31, we celebrate the many ways people with speech or language impairments connect and communicate.

AAC includes tools, gestures, symbols, and technology that give everyone a voice — because communication is a human right. 💬

Let’s spread awareness, promote inclusion, and support every individual’s right to express themselves. 💙
