💚 Time to Talk Day 💚

Today is a reminder that talking about mental health can make a real difference.
A simple conversation, checking in with a friend, colleague or family member, can help someone feel less alone.

You don’t need to have all the answers.
Listening, being patient and showing you care is often enough ❤️

Let’s use Time to Talk Day to start conversations, break down stigma and remind each other that it’s okay to talk.

If you need support, help is available:

This February, let’s show our hearts some love ❤️
Heart disease affects millions of people, but small changes can make a big difference.
Eating well, moving more, stopping smoking and checking your blood pressure can all help keep your heart healthy.

💡 Did you know? Checking your blood pressure regularly is one of the simplest ways to look after your heart.

Let’s use National Heart Month to take a moment for our health – and encourage those around us to do the same.

🔔 Tinnitus Awareness Week 🔔

Living with tinnitus can be challenging.

Ringing, buzzing or humming sounds can affect sleep, concentration, mood and wellbeing — and for many people, it’s something others can’t see.

This Tinnitus Awareness Week, we want to remind everyone that:
💙 You’re not alone
💙 Support is available
💙 You don’t have to “just live with it”

If tinnitus is affecting your daily life, speak to your GP or audiology service. There are treatments, coping strategies and support that can help manage symptoms and improve quality of life.

You can also find trusted information and support at:
👉 https://www.tinnitus.org.uk

Let’s raise awareness, reduce stigma, and support those living with tinnitus.

Please share to help spread the message.

This week is about raising awareness, challenging stigma, and showing support for anyone affected by sexual abuse or sexual violence.

Sexual abuse and sexual violence can affect people of any age, gender or background, and it is never the survivor’s fault. Talking about it, listening without judgement and knowing where help is available can make a real difference.

Support is available, and you don’t have to cope alone.

💙 Oesophageal Cancer Awareness Month 💙

This month, we’re raising awareness of oesophageal cancer, and the importance of knowing the symptoms.

Oesophageal cancer often has subtle early signs, which means it can be harder to spot. Getting symptoms checked early can make a real difference.

⚠️ Common symptoms to look out for include:
• Difficulty swallowing food
• Food feeling stuck in your throat or chest
• Persistent heartburn or acid reflux
• Unexplained weight loss
• Ongoing indigestion
• Chest pain or discomfort

If you’ve had any of these symptoms for more than three weeks, don’t ignore them. Contact your GP practice, it’s always better to get checked.

👉 Learn more about the signs, symptoms and support available:
https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/oesophageal-cancer/

Early action saves lives. Please share to help raise awareness.
