Did you know that stigmatising language can be barrier to healthcare?

πŸ”  Words matter and they can either help people feel safe, or stop them from accessing the help they need.

πŸ’¬ Using respectful words and avoiding stigmatising language helps make sure healthcare is accessible to all.

Take a look at the examples in the image for small ways to make a big difference.

This , we're talking about nutrition.

Eating a balanced diet and drinking plenty of water is a very important part of the recovery process. It is also helpful to both your physical, mental and emotional wellbeing. Below are some of our top tips to boost nutrition:

🍎 Five a day: eat at least five portions of a variety of fruit and vegetables every day.
🌾 Switch to healthier varieties: choose wholegrain or wholemeal varieties of starchy foods, such as brown rice, wholewheat pasta and brown, wholemeal or higher fibre white bread.
🫘 Eat enough protein: Beans, pulses, fish, eggs, meat and other protein are all good sources of protein.
πŸ₯‘ Small amounts of fat: Some fat in the diet is essential but should be limited to small amounts. It’s important to get most of our fat from unsaturated oils and spreads.
🧈 Avoid too much saturated fat: Too much saturated fat can increase the amount of cholesterol in the blood.

FAQ: Can you provide naloxone?

Yes! Naloxone is a medication that can temporarily reverse the side effects of an opioid overdose and save a life. We can provide naloxone and training on how to recognise and respond to an overdose. Please ask us about naloxone if you need support or access to it.

πŸ’€ The 13th of March is so let's talk about the importance of sleep.

🌱 Having consistent, high-quality sleep is always important, but it becomes even more essential during recovery. It not only supports in repairing and detoxing the body, but also helps to clear the mind and improve mental health.

➑️ If you are struggling with sleep, it is important to speak to a support worker or a GP, as tailored advice and support can be provided for you.
