At Care Initiatives, we understand that caring for others begins with caring for ourselves. Today, on World Mental Health Day, we join the global movement to raise awareness and support conversations around mental well-being.

Mental health matters every day — for our residents, patients, families, and team members. Taking time to rest, reflect, and reach out for support helps us continue providing the compassionate care our communities deserve. 💙

Let’s continue to check in with ourselves and each other — because together, we’re stronger.

Together We Care: Recognizing Breast Cancer Awareness Month at Care Initiatives

Knowing the signs can help save lives. Some symptoms to watch for include:
✔️ A new lump in the breast or underarm
✔️ Changes in breast size, shape, or appearance
✔️ Unexplained pain in the breast or ni**le
✔️ Skin changes such as dimpling, redness, or thickening
✔️ Ni**le discharge other than breast milk

If you notice any of these changes, talk with your healthcare provider right away. Early detection is key to successful treatment.

At Care Initiatives, we’re proud to recognize Breast Cancer Awareness Month and remind everyone of the importance of prevention, awareness, and early care. 💗
