Today is Autism Awareness Day
A day to not just raise awareness — but to deepen understanding, challenge misconceptions, and celebrate the incredible diversity within the autistic community.

Autism is not something to be “fixed” — it is a different way of experiencing the world.
For many autistic people, life is navigated through a lens that others may not fully see or understand, yet it holds beauty, creativity, logic, and resilience.

Today, let’s:
• Listen more than we speak.
• Learn directly from autistic voices.
• Advocate for acceptance, not just awareness.
• Remember that behind every statistic is a person, a story, a voice that matters.

Let’s keep breaking down barriers, together.

Mental Health and the Weekend VCare Training Solutions

Weekends aren’t always the break we expect them to be.

For some, they’re a breath of fresh air — a chance to switch off, rest, and reconnect. For others, weekends can highlight loneliness, overwhelm, or the pressure to ‘make the most of it.’

Mental health doesn’t take the weekend off. It comes with us whether we’re out with friends, catching up on chores, or curled up on the sofa. So, whatever this weekend looks like for you — busy or quiet, peaceful or heavy , remember, it’s okay to feel how you feel.

Take what you need from these next couple of days, without guilt or comparison. Slow down if you need to. Say no if you need to. Let yourself be, without the pressure of having to ‘fix’ anything by Monday.

Your wellbeing matters — not just on weekdays, but always.

Today is Epilepsy Awareness Day (Purple Day)

Over 50 million people worldwide live with epilepsy, but would you know what to do if someone had a seizure?

Not all seizures look the same. Here’s a quick guide:

1. Tonic-Clonic Seizures
• Look for: Stiffening, jerking, unconsciousness
• Do: Time it, clear space, cushion head, recovery position, call 999 if over 5 mins

2. Focal Seizures
• Look for: Confusion, repetitive movements, staring
• Do: Stay calm, guide away from danger, reassure after

3. Absence Seizures
• Look for: Blank stares, flickering eyelids, brief unresponsiveness
• Do: Gently refocus, monitor if frequent

Knowing what to do can save a life.
