Today is R U Ok? Day!
reminds us that a simple conversation can make a powerful difference. It's a reminder to check in with the people we care about and also ourselves. Whether it’s a friend, family member or colleague, asking ‘R U OK?’ any day could change someone’s life.

This week is Asthma Week (September 1-7)!!!!

Asthma is one of the leading causes of children ending up in hospital. New research by Asthma Australia shows that while most parents feel like they are confident in managing their child’s asthma, nearly two thirds live in constant fear of an asthma attack.
But it doesn’t have to be this way. A daily preventer can help keep your child's asthma under control, reducing the chance of an attack.
This means less time feeling sick or in the hospital and more time for them to just be a kid. Instead of waiting for symptoms like wheezing or difficulty breathing, use a preventer every day to help your child breathe normally.

Please speak to Pauline or Athena if you have any questions about your asthma inhaler or would like to review your inhaler technique.
