🔎 KNOW THE SIGNS OF PTSD 🧠

Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) can affect anyone who has been through a traumatic event, and it's more common than many people realise.

Symptoms may include:

✔️ Reliving the traumatic event
✔️ Avoiding reminders of the trauma
✔️ Negative thoughts about yourself or others
✔️ Feeling constantly on edge
✔️ Trouble sleeping or concentrating

The good news is, effective treatments are available. Therapy and, in some cases, medication can help people manage symptoms and improve quality of life.

If you or someone you know is struggling, please reach out for support. We're here to help.

And if you need support while we're closed, free helplines are available:

📞 Free call or text 1737 any time for support from a trained counsellor
📞 Lifeline: 0800 543 354 or text 4357

You don't have to go through this alone. 💙

🦠 WHAT IS RSV? 🤧

There's been a lot of sickness in the community lately, and you may have heard people talking about RSV. But what exactly is it?

RSV (Respiratory Syncytial Virus) is a common virus that affects the lungs and airways. It often causes cold-like symptoms but can lead to more serious illnesses in babies, young children, and older adults.

🤒 COMMON SYMPTOMS

Like a cold, RSV usually causes mild symptoms at first. These can include:

+ Runny nose or sneezing
+ Cough or wheezing
+ Fever
+ Trouble breathing or feeding (especially in young children)

🧼 HOW TO: STOP THE SPREAD

The good news is that there are simple ways to help protect yourself and others:

+ Wash your hands often
+ Stay home if you're unwell
+ Avoid close contact with pēpi if you're sick
+ Wipe down shared surfaces regularly

If your child is having difficulty breathing, feeding less than usual, or seems very unwell, seek medical care straight away.
