Oesophageal Cancer Awareness Month is a time to raise awareness of risk factors, symptoms and the importance of looking after your long-term health.

A family history of cancer, smoking, va**ng, poor diet and long-term acid reflux can all increase risk. Making positive lifestyle changes, such as stopping smoking or va**ng, can help reduce the risk of many cancers and improve overall health.

Knowing the signs and understanding risk factors can support earlier diagnosis and better outcomes. ๐ŸŽ—๏ธ๐Ÿฉบ๐Ÿ’™โœจ

Childrenโ€™s Mental Health Week is a great opportunity to think about how we can support childrenโ€™s wellbeing in everyday life. ๐Ÿง ๐Ÿ’™๐Ÿ“ฑโœจ

Creating healthy habits around screen time and internet use, having open conversations about what children see online, and knowing where to find support can all make a positive difference.

For families waiting for neurodiversity or mental health assessments, trusted guidance and early support can help while youโ€™re on the journey. Small, consistent actions at home can help children feel safer, more confident and better supported.

Mindโ€™s Time to Talk Day is a reminder that talking really can change lives. Whether youโ€™re feeling lonely around Valentineโ€™s Day, coping with grief or bereavement, or struggling with your mental health, you deserve to be heard and supported.

If youโ€™re waiting for therapy, there are ways to look after yourself, manage difficult feelings and find support in the meantime. Small conversations, with friends, family or professionals, can be a powerful first step towards feeling less alone. ๐Ÿ’™๐Ÿ—ฃ๏ธ๐ŸŒฑโœจ

World Cancer Day is a chance to raise awareness of cancer prevention, early diagnosis and the importance of national screening programmes for bowel, breast and cervical cancer. Screening can help find changes early, before symptoms appear, when treatment is more likely to be successful. ๐Ÿ’™โœจ

Many people diagnosed with cancer now live longer and better lives thanks to improvements in detection, treatment and support. Understanding risk factors, making healthy lifestyle choices and attending screening when invited can all help reduce risk and improve survival. Support is also available for anyone affected by cancer, from diagnosis through recovery and beyond. ๐ŸŽ—๏ธ

Sexual Violence Awareness Week is a time to highlight support for anyone affected by sexual assault or sexual violence, including women and men. ๐Ÿ’œ

Help is available if you have experienced abuse, are worried about someone else, or need advice on staying safe. Confidential support, medical care, forensic services and sexual health checks (including STI testing) can be accessed through specialist services.

You may also see emergency alert test notifications on your phone during national testing. Opting out can help some people keep phones hidden and safe, as these alerts override silent and do not disturb settings.

You are not alone, and support is there when you are ready. ๐Ÿ•Š๏ธ๐Ÿฉบโœจ
