📚 October is Health Literacy Month 📚

At Independently Developing A New Way, Inc., we believe that everyone should have the knowledge and resources they need to make informed decisions about their health. Health literacy is about understanding how to find, comprehend, and use health information to improve your well-being and lead a healthier life.

✨ Why is Health Literacy Important?
Empowers Better Choices: Understanding medical information allows you to make informed decisions about treatments and care.
Improves Health Outcomes: Those with strong health literacy are better able to follow medical advice, take medication properly, and navigate the healthcare system.
Builds Confidence in Your Care: Knowing how to ask questions and seek out accurate information builds confidence in managing your health.

💡 Tips for Improving Health Literacy:

Ask Questions: Don't hesitate to ask your healthcare provider to explain anything you don't understand.
Use Trusted Sources: Seek out reputable health websites and resources for reliable information.
Know Your Rights: You have a right to clear and understandable health information.
📣 Let’s come together to promote health literacy for all—empowering individuals and families to live healthier, more informed lives.

💙 October is Pregnancy & Infant Loss Awareness Month 💙

During this month, Independently Developing A New Way, Inc. honors the families who have experienced the unimaginable loss of a pregnancy or infant. We recognize the silent pain, grief, and the unique journey each family faces and aim to break the silence and stigma around this type of loss.

✨ Why Awareness Matters:

Breaking the Silence: Pregnancy and infant loss affects 1 in 4 women, yet it often goes unspoken. Sharing stories helps families feel less alone.
Creating a Supportive Community: Grieving families need understanding, compassion, and a safe space to share their experiences.
Promoting Healing & Hope: By acknowledging these losses, we honor the lives that were too short and provide support for those grieving.
🌸 You Are Not Alone: If you or someone you know has experienced a loss, please know there is a community here ready to support and uplift you. Let's stand together in remembrance and support.

📣 Join us in lighting a candle on October 15th for the International Wave of Light, a global moment of remembrance to honor all the babies gone too soon. 🕯️
