What is a mental health plan? π€
It's a personalised roadmap designed to help individuals manage their mental health challenges.
A mental health plan outlines specific goals and strategies that are tailored to your needs. It typically involves a range of interventions, including therapy, medication, lifestyle changes, and support services. The aim is to empower individuals to take proactive steps towards improved well-being and resilience.

Don't ignore the signs! π
Bowel cancer is silent, but its symptoms aren't.
Suppose you're experiencing persistent changes in bowel habits, blood in your stool, unexplained weight loss, or abdominal pain. In that case, it's time to listen to your body.
Early detection saves lives.
Regular screening is key to catching bowel cancer and other health risks in its early stages when treatment is most effective.
Don't wait until it's too late - talk to us about screening options.
