💜 Let’s Talk About Testicular Cancer 💪

This month we’re shining a light on testicular cancer — something that affects Kiwi men, especially younger ones.

Key facts:
• Each year in New Zealand about 170 men are diagnosed with testicular cancer and around 8 deaths occur.
• It’s the most commonly diagnosed cancer in men aged ~15-44.
• Rates are higher among Māori men: Māori men have approximately 50-80% higher incidence than European men here.
• The good news: Survival rates are very high when caught early (5-year survival over 95% for many).

What to watch for:
🟢 A painless lump or swelling in a testicle
🟢 Change in size or firmness of a testicle
🟢 Feeling of heaviness in the sc***um or lower-abdomen/groin ache
🟢 Sudden fluid in the sc***um, or other unusual changes

What you can do:
🔍 Get familiar with your body — know what’s normal for you.
📆 If you notice changes (as above), see your GP early — prompt check-up means better outcomes.
🗣️ Talk about it with mates / family. Being open helps break the silence.
📲 Stay on top of health: even if you feel fine, awareness = power.

💛 World Kindness Day – 13 November 💛

Today is World Kindness Day — a beautiful reminder that even the smallest act of kindness can make a big difference. 🌿

A smile, a kind word, helping a neighbour, or checking in on a friend — these simple moments of care can brighten someone’s day and ripple out in ways we might never see.

Let’s take a moment today to do something kind — for a loved one, a stranger, or even yourself. 💫

Because kindness is contagious — and the world could always use a little more of it. 💕

🌍 World Pneumonia Day – 12 November 2025 💙

Today marks a global day of action in the fight against pneumonia — the world’s single biggest infectious killer of both adults and children.

In 2023, pneumonia claimed the lives of 2.5 million people worldwide, including 610,000 children under five. 😔

Pneumonia affects people of all ages, but it’s the very young and the very old who are most at risk:
👶 Children in areas with low vaccination rates, poor nutrition, and exposure to smoke from cooking or heating fuels.
👵 Older adults exposed to outdoor air pollution or cigarette smoke — with 1 in 3 pneumonia deaths over age 55 linked to air pollution and smoking.

As urbanisation, pollution, and global health risks rise, the fight against pneumonia is more important than ever.

What we can do:
✅ Keep up to date with vaccinations (including childhood and adult vaccines)
✅ Reduce exposure to smoke and air pollution where possible
✅ Seek early medical care for cough, fever, or breathing difficulties

Every breath matters. Let’s raise awareness, protect our most vulnerable, and work together to end preventable pneumonia deaths. 💙

💫 Cultivating Hope for a Brighter Tomorrow 💫

Hope is more than just a feeling — it’s a mindset that helps us believe in the possibility of good things ahead 🌈. It gives us the strength to take positive action, even when life feels difficult.

When we’re struggling with stress, low mood, or tough times, hope can feel hard to hold on to — but it can be nurtured. Here are some simple ways to cultivate hope in your everyday life:

🌿 Embrace gratitude – Take a moment each day to notice the good around you. Write down or share something you’re thankful for. Gratitude helps us see the positives, even in small things.

🎯 Find your sense of purpose – Think about what gives your life meaning. Setting small, achievable goals towards what matters most to you builds motivation and a sense of direction.

💪 Recognise your strengths – Reflect on things you’ve achieved — big or small — and allow yourself to feel proud. Confidence in your own abilities fuels belief in your future.

Remember, cultivating hope doesn’t mean ignoring life’s challenges — it means believing that better days are possible and that you have the power to move toward them 💙

If you’re finding it hard to feel hopeful, reach out for support. Talking to someone you trust or a healthcare professional can help you take that first step. 🌼

📢 Have Your Say on the Cervical Screening Program! 📢

A Parliamentary Review Committee has been established to independently review the National Cervical Screening Program (NCSP) and make recommendations for its improvement. A major focus of this review is the recent shift to HPV testing as the primary method for cervical screening.

To make sure your voice is heard, the Committee has launched an online survey for anyone who has had a cervical screen in the past two years. Your feedback will help them understand how the program is working and where improvements can be made to better serve communities across Aotearoa New Zealand.

📝 Take the survey here:
👉 https://consult.health.govt.nz/public-health-agency/experiences-cervical-screening/consultation/intro/

Let’s ensure as many voices as possible are included in this important review, so please share the link within your networks! 🗣️

Thank you for your continued support and for contributing to making it better for everyone. 💙

It’s Movember – Men’s Health Month 2025! 💙

This November, we’re encouraging all men to take a moment for your health — because looking after yourself is one of the best things you can do for your whānau, your mates, and your future. 🙌

Movember isn’t just about growing a mo — it’s about starting conversations and taking action around men’s health. That means:
✅ Checking in with your mates — a simple “how are you really doing?” can go a long way.
✅ Booking that GP appointment you’ve been putting off.
✅ Getting your regular checks done — prostate, blood pressure, cholesterol, mental health, and more.

Small steps can make a big difference. 💪
So this Movember, let’s grow more than moustaches — let’s grow awareness, connection, and healthy habits.

If you’re due for a check-up, need support, or just want to talk about your health, our team is here to help. 👨‍⚕️👨
