💚Samaritans Awareness Day 💚

Today is about listening without judgment and reminding everyone that you are not alone. ❤️

Samaritans Awareness Day shines light on the power of conversation and the importance of reaching out- whether you need help or want to support someone else.

💬You don't need to have all the answers
👂Sometimes, just being there is enough.
📞Samaritans are available 24/7 for anyone in emotional distress.

If you are struggling, please know that support is just a call away.

Lets break the stigma around mental health. Let's talk. Let's Listen. Let's care.

Cervical Screening Awareness Week 🌸

Cervical Screening (Smear test) matter. Whether its your first test or a reminder to rebook, it's normal to feel nervous- but you're not alone.

🩷Its quick and can help prevent cervical cancer
🩷You're in control- ask questions, speak up
🩷Your comfort and dignity are important at every age.

Cervical cancer is one of the most preventable cancers and screening can help find cell changes early, often before they become serious.
