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.

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.

Turning on NHS App notifications is a simple way to help the NHS save money while staying informed about your healthcare. ๐Ÿ’™

Notifications can remind you about appointments, test results, prescriptions and important updates, helping reduce missed appointments and unnecessary letters or texts.

Using the NHS App makes it easier to manage your health in one place, saves time for NHS services and helps resources be used where they are needed most. Making this small change can have a big impact for you and the NHS. ๐Ÿ“ฑ
