🔍 STRESS OR BURNOUT: KNOW THE DIFFERENCE 🧠

We all experience stress from time to time. It’s a normal response to busy days, deadlines, or unexpected challenges. For most people, this type of stress is short-term and improves once the situation passes.

Burnout is different.

Burnout builds up over time and doesn’t go away with rest alone. It can affect how you feel, think, and function day to day.

SIGNS OF BURNOUT MAY INCLUDE 👇

😞 Feeling emotionally drained or overwhelmed
🚫 Becoming detached from work or family life
📉 Loss of motivation or enjoyment in things you used to care about
😴 Ongoing fatigue, even after rest

If these feelings are sticking around or starting to affect your daily life, it’s important to talk to someone. Reaching out early can make a real difference.

You don’t have to manage it on your own. Support is available, and our team is always here to help.

🛡️ HAVE YOU BOOKED YOUR FLU VACCINE YET? 💉

Flu season is around the corner, and now’s the best time to prepare.

While it may be mild for some, the flu can lead to serious illness and hospitalisation, even in otherwise healthy people.

Those most at risk include:

👵 Older adults
The vaccine is funded for those 65+. It can also help reduce the risk of stroke and heart attack, and support independent living.

🫁 People with underlying health conditions
Including diabetes, asthma, and heart disease.

👶 Pēpi and children under 5
Even healthy tamariki can become very unwell with the flu.

🤰 Pregnant people and their pēpi
The vaccine is safe, recommended, and free during pregnancy. It helps protect both you and your baby in those early months.

If you haven’t had your flu vaccine yet, don’t wait.

Get in touch with our team today to book your appointment and help protect yourself and your whānau this winter.

🤒 THE FLU HITS DIFFERENT 👨‍👩‍👧

They can feel similar at first, but the flu and a cold are very different.

A cold tends to come on slowly.

You might have:
• A runny nose
• A sore throat
• A mild cough

You can usually carry on with your day.

The flu is different. It hits harder and faster.

You’re more likely to have:
• Fever
• Body aches
• Extreme tiredness

It can leave you completely wiped out. And for some people, it can lead to serious illness.

That’s why getting the flu vaccine matters.

It helps protect you, and the people around you, too. Your whānau, your workmates, and your wider community.

Get in touch with our team to book your 2026 flu vaccine or to check if you’re eligible for a funded (no cost) vaccination.

⚠️ STRESS AWARENESS MONTH: KNOW THE SIGNS 💭

While April kicks off with April Fools’ Day, Stress Awareness Month is no joke.

That’s because the 2024/25 NZ Health Survey shows stress:

📊 Affects many New Zealanders (14.3% of adults experience high or very high distress)
📈 Has increased significantly in recent years (up from 7.4% in 2019/20)
🧑‍🤝‍🧑 Is more common in young people (22.9%), Māori (22.5%), and Pacific peoples (23.8%)

Stress is our body’s natural response to pressure, but when it sticks around, it can start to affect your health and lead to:

• High blood pressure
• Obesity and diabetes
• Depression or anxiety
• Heart disease
• Muscle tension or headaches
• Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS)

If stress is affecting your daily life, talk to our team. We’re here to support you.

A quick check-in today can make a real difference. 💙

👁️ PROTECT YOUR VISION: CHECK FOR GLAUCOMA 🔍

March is Glaucoma Awareness Month, and it’s a timely reminder that glaucoma often develops without any early symptoms. That means you may not notice any changes to your sight until the condition has already progressed.

Vision loss from glaucoma is permanent, but early detection can help slow or prevent further damage.

The best way to protect your vision is through regular eye checks. An optometrist can assess your eye pressure, examine your optic nerve, and carry out simple tests to detect glaucoma early.

You may be at higher risk if you are over 40, have a family history of glaucoma, or have certain medical conditions. Even if your vision feels fine, it’s still important to get checked.

If you’ve recently been diagnosed or want to learn more about glaucoma, including testing and support, you can visit 👉 https://glaucoma.org.nz/about-glaucoma/

Remember, how you take care of your eyes now determines your vision in the future.
