Do you know about STDs and why testing is important?

If you are sexually active, being in a long-term mutually monogamous relationship with a partner who has been tested and does not have syphilis or using condoms the correct way every time are the best ways to lower your risk of contracting Syphilis.

Although Syphilis is curable with the right antibiotics from your healthcare provider, it is key to catch it early by getting tested, so it doesn't spread to others or before symptoms worsen for yourself.

You can learn more about Syphilis and ways to stay safe:

Mondays can feel like a mountain to climb after a restful weekend, but taking care of your mental health is just as important as any work task on your list. Starting your week with a positive and mindful approach can make a huge difference in your overall well-being. Here are some simple yet effective tips to prioritize your mental health this Monday:

✨ Start with a Positive Mindset
The way you begin your day sets the tone for the rest of it. Instead of focusing on the stresses ahead, take a moment to practice gratitude. Write down three things you're thankful for or think about a positive affirmation that empowers you. A small shift in your perspective can make the day feel more manageable.

💡 Take Time for Yourself
Don’t forget to carve out moments for self-care throughout the day. Whether it’s reading a book, taking a break to listen to music, journaling, or just enjoying a cup of tea, make sure you give yourself permission to pause. Mental health thrives when we allow ourselves space to recharge.

📱 Limit Social Media
Social media can sometimes contribute to feelings of anxiety or self-doubt. Consider setting boundaries for yourself by limiting your screen time, especially in the morning and before bed. Focusing on the present moment rather than online comparisons can create a more peaceful mindset.

🌈 Reach Out for Support
If you’re feeling overwhelmed, don’t hesitate to reach out to a friend, family member, or therapist. Sometimes, just talking things through can lighten the load. You don’t have to carry everything on your own.

This Mental Health Monday, remember: Your mental health is just as important as any task or goal you have. By setting boundaries, prioritizing self-care, and taking small steps toward balance, you’re giving yourself the best chance for a fulfilling week ahead. 💚
