This year's theme is "Empowering Women, Cultivating Health: Celebrating Voices, Wellness, and Resilience." "This year’s theme is dedicated to empowering women to take charge of their health journeys and shining a light on health issues unique to women. We’re celebrating the strength and determination of women who have taken control of their health and fostering an environment where all women feel supported and empowered to speak up about their health needs and concerns." - The Office on Women's Health, U.S. Department of Health & Human Services. According to the Centers for Disease Control @cdcgov, there are several ways to improve mental and physical health. 🔸️Schedule a yearly well-woman exam. 🔸️Get active. 🔸️Eat a healthy and balanced diet. 🔸️Prioritize mental health by having strategies to cope with stress. 🔸️Incorporate healthy behaviors. Every little bit counts. These strategies are especially important for women and AFAB individuals experiencing PMDD (Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder) and PME (Premenstrual Exacerbation). "As we celebrate Women’s Health Week, I want to remind every woman to embrace the power within her. This week is not just about awareness—it's about action.

🌸 Women's Health Week 2024: Your Voice. Your Choice. 🌸 We are proud to stand with the women in our organisation and beyond during Women's Health Week 2024. This year, under the powerful theme of 'Your Voice. Your Choice,' we are shining a spotlight on the critical issues that impact women's health every day. In an industry where the majority of our professionals are women, we recognise the importance of creating an environment where women's voices are not just heard but celebrated. From mental health to physical well-being, the choices women make about their health are deeply personal and profoundly impactful. It’s our responsibility to ensure that these choices are supported, respected, and empowered. At our core, we believe that every woman deserves the opportunity to make informed decisions about her health without barriers or bias. As we reflect on this week, let's challenge ourselves and our industry to do more - whether by promoting work-life balance, ensuring access to health resources, or fostering a culture of inclusivity and respect. 'Your Voice. Your Choice.' is more than just a theme - it’s a call to action. Let’s commit to making this a reality, not just this week, but every day. Together, we can create a future where women’s health is prioritised, voices are amplified, and choices are celebrated. #WomensHealthWeek #YourVoiceYourChoice #EmpowerWomen #SupplyNation #OccupationalTherapy #SpeechPathology #SupportAndStrength #WellbeingMatters #NDIS #HealthcareHeroes

As we embrace Women's Health Week, it's a reminder of the importance of prioritising our physical, mental, and emotional well-being. For many women, juggling responsibilities at home, work, and within our communities often leaves little time for self-care. This week is an opportunity to reflect, reset, and renew our commitment to our health and wellness. Women's Health Week is about encouraging every woman to take small but meaningful steps towards a healthier future. Whether it's booking that long-postponed check-up, taking time for a mental health break, or simply educating ourselves about critical health issues, every action counts. At CreditorWatch, we are committed to fostering an environment where women feel empowered to take charge of their health, ask the important questions, and have access to the resources they need. Let's use this week to inspire each other, share knowledge, and uplift one another. Together, we can create a community that supports and celebrates women's health, not just this week but every day.

Welcome to Women's Health Week 2024. This years theme - 'Your voice. Your choice'. For the 12th year, Jean Hailes has organised a week full of great events and developed amazing materials and resources accessible at Jean Hailes for Women's Health Monday: Know your body 🧠 Tuesday: Courageous Conversations 🗣 Wednesday: Shame and stigma 🙈 Thursday: Point of difference 🤩 Friday: Trust your gut 🍉 I remember having conversations with friends about how we hadn't felt "heard" during medical appointments or that our concerns had been disregarded. Building autonomy and confidence to talk to appropriate health professionals can be hard and scary, but is an important skill to learn. - Do research into the appropriate services available - Talk to your friends / family and see if they've had a positive experience with a health professional - Write your concerns and questions into your notes app and get this out at your appointment Breaking the stigma around important conversations such as STIs, UTIs, bladder leakage, contraception and periods is an important step towards a community where women's health is normal and valued. This week, make the effort to support Women's Health .... here are a few ways: - Book your appropriate health checks or screenings with some friends (make a coffee date of it) - Share one of this weeks podcasts to your friends / family / partners - Send some of the 'Symptoms Checklist' in your friends group chat Let's start to make these 'courageous conversations' normal ones.

Help them prioritize their Health and Self-Care! When women are raising kids, they are the architecting the world of the future, When women are working professionally, they are contributing to the economy. when women do the household chores, they are operating out of a space of love and compassion. But amidst all this, they overlook one crucial aspect: Themselves. Health and self-care often take a backseat in their priorities. From reproductive health to mental well-being, women face unique challenges that require attention and care. Women's Day is a reminder for all of us to encourage the women in our lives - our mothers, sisters, and friends - to break the cycle of neglect and to prioritize their health and well-being. By raising awareness and ensuring access to healthcare services, we can empower women to proactively take control of their health. Here's how we can support them: ✔ Regular Health Check-ups: Encourage them for routine doctor visits for early detection of health issues. ✔ Healthy Habits: Promote exercise, balanced diet, sleep, and stress management. ✔ Self-Exams: Explain the importance of breast and cervical self-examinations for early detection of cancer. ✔ Contraception Access: Ensure the availability of contraception and family planning services. ✔ Mental Health Support: Provide resources for counseling and support for mental health issues. ✔ Work-Life Balance: Advocate for policies supporting work-life balance. ✔ Peer Support: Facilitate networks for women to connect and support each other. ✔ Education: Educate them about the importance of physical and mental health and how to care for themselves. Our collective efforts can make a significant difference in improving the health and well-being of women in our communities. When women prioritize their health and practice self-care, they become better caregivers, professionals, and leaders. And as we know, when women thrive, the whole world thrives. PS- Picture is With a bunch of Strong empowered women surrounding me 😊 #womenhealth #drmeinalchaudhry #aakashhealthcar
