❓Not feeling like your self at work❓

1 in 4 adults experience mental illness with many more of us caring for someone who does. Good work can be beneficial for our mental health but sometimes we need a hand when we’re not feeling like ourselves.

If you live in York or North Yorkshire and are already in work or are thinking of returning to work but you need some help with your mental health, please get in touch.

The Trailblazer Resilience Hub can provide an initial assessment to discuss the best support for your needs and up to six sessions with a trained mental health professional, all funded through the Good Work, Healthy People project at no cost to you.

Visit bit.ly/GoodWorkYNY and click on ‘support for employees’ to find out more or speak to our reception team.

💉🩺Do you know the signs of Type 1 Diabetes?🩺💉

If type 1 diabetes is left undiagnosed, it can get really serious, really quickly. But knowing the signs can avoid a medical emergency and save lives.

The four most common signs of type 1 diabetes in both adults and children are...

🚽Toilet – Going for a wee more often.
🥛Thirsty – Non-stop thirst and drinking more than usual.
😴Tired – Feeling more tired and having less energy than usual.
❗️Thinner – Unexplained weight loss.

If you or your child are weeing more often, constantly thirsty, more tired than usual, or losing weight for no reason, it could be a symptom of type 1 diabetes

If left undiagnosed, type 1 diabetes can be fatal. If you’re experiencing any of the 4Ts, ask your doctor for a test immediately
