🎄✨ Reminder: Your Mental Health Matters Every Season! ✨🎄

We at Covenant House Health understand that holidays can be joyful—but at times, we all fail to notice that the expectation to make the season memorable can onset immense stress. Here are just a few of the awesome tips we found to help you stay balanced and enjoy the season:

✅ Self-care: Pay attention to eating, sleeping, and downtime.
✅ Fun, not perfection: Focus on enjoying the moment, not making it perfect.
✅ Plan ahead: Anticipate stress and have a strategy ready.

This season, let’s focus on actionable solutions—and save the ‘right answers’ for multiple-choice questions 😵‍💫. These tips, paired with regular check-ins alongside a behavioral health specialist, aren’t meant to solve every struggle. Instead, they’re designed to give us the agency to take our mental health journey into our own hands. Let’s make this holiday season about peace, joy, and well-being! 💚

🩷 Good news for menopause care! 🩷
A recent update from the Food & Drug Administration (FDA) shows that they’re removing the “black-box” warning labels on many hormone replacement therapy (HRT) products for menopause.

What this could mean for you:
• If you’re navigating perimenopause or menopause symptoms — like hot flashes, night sweats, or mood changes — you now have more room to talk openly about HRT with your provider.

• It emphasizes the importance of individualized care: What’s best for you depends on your health, timeline, and risk factors.
Healthline

• At our practice, Covenant House Health, we’re committed to keeping you informed and supported every step of the way.

🔍 Have questions about menopause, HRT, or what’s right for you? Let’s talk. You’re not alone in this — our care team is here for whole-person wellness, mind and body.

📞 Call us at 215-844-1020 or ask about this during your next visit.

Let’s Talk About Menopause!

Did you know that many Black women experience menopause symptoms for 9 years or more — and often don’t get the care or answers they deserve?

A new report from the Black Women’s Health Imperative (BWHI) shows that nearly half of Black women have felt dismissed or treated unfairly when talking to healthcare providers about menopause symptoms like hot flashes, brain fog, and mood changes.

At Covenant House Health, we believe every woman deserves to be heard and supported through every stage of life. Menopause is a natural part of our journey — and you don’t have to go through it alone.

We’re here to listen, to help you manage your symptoms, and to connect you with compassionate care that understands your experiences.
