🧠 Dyspraxia Awareness Week 🧠 At Heart to Heart, we recognize the importance of understanding and supporting those living with dyspraxia. This developmental condition affects movement and coordination, impacting daily life in unique ways. 💡 What can we do? Raise awareness: Help others understand the challenges. Be patient: Small tasks can require more time and effort. Offer support: Empathy and kindness make all the difference. Together, we can create a more inclusive and understanding community. 💙 Let's shine a light on dyspraxia this week and beyond! #DyspraxiaAwarenessWeek #HeartToHeartCare #InclusionMatters #CareAndSupport

At Within Health, we’re dedicated to creating inclusive, compassionate spaces where every individual feels seen, valued, and respected—regardless of their body size. As we approach #WeightStigmaAwarenessWeek (September 23-27, 2024), we stand in solidarity with this important movement to challenge harmful stereotypes and celebrate #bodydiversity. Weight stigma impacts the mental and physical well-being of individuals of all sizes, reinforcing inequities and barriers to accessing care. Together, we can dismantle these barriers and build a healthcare system that is free from bias, shame, and discrimination. Our team remains committed to fostering a culture of empathy, understanding, and inclusivity in all of our programs. Through education, open dialogue, and intentional care, we continue our mission to support individuals on their recovery journeys, especially those affected by the stigma around weight. #Register below and learn from these incredible presenters! Let's use this week to raise awareness, reflect, and take action. #EndWeightBias #WithinHealth #EmpathyInAction #InclusiveHealthcare

Let’s wrap up this month of awareness for invisible health conditions with two words: HOPE & RESILIENCE. I want you to reflect on the incredible resilience and strength within you. Even on the days you feel weak. ESPECIALLY on the days you feel weak. 

 Living with an invisible disability may present its challenges, but it also showcases our unwavering determination and spirit. YOU can play a role in fostering hope and empowerment for others navigating their journey, even if it doesn’t look exactly like yours. 

 Remember: you’re not alone, and there is always hope as long as there is life left within you. Visit my website, CarolineNiederman.com, to continue the conversation and join my advocacy efforts. We can make a difference in the world, together.

Every year on June 7th, we come together to celebrate Tourette Syndrome, a neurological condition that affects millions worldwide. It's a day of education, advocacy, and most importantly, understanding. Living with Tourette's isn't just about the visible tics you may see. It's about the resilience, strength, and courage of every individual navigating a world that often misunderstands their condition. It's about breaking stereotypes and fostering inclusivity. But our work doesn't end with awareness. It's about creating a world that embraces differences, that champions diversity, and that offers support and acceptance to every person, regardless of their neurology. 💪🌟 #TourettesAwarenessDay #BreakTheStigma #SupportDiversity

Please take a minute to watch this video that’s been made by the fab Tourettes Action. It very succinctly shows the hidden impact of Tourette’s. Please remember to ask questions and talk about Tourette’s rather than ignore someone who is ‘making weird noises’ or ‘making weird movements’. Questions help reduce ignorance.

🌟It’s Dyspraxia Week! Let’s raise awareness and celebrate the unique strengths of those living with dyspraxia, also known as Developmental Coordination Disorder (DCD). 🌟 DCD affects coordination and movement, but it doesn’t limit potential! This week, we’re highlighting the importance of understanding, acceptance, and support for individuals with dyspraxia/DCD. By creating inclusive environments and offering the right resources, we can help people with dyspraxia flourish in their everyday lives. At Concept Care, we’re dedicated to supporting individuals with dyspraxia through personalised care plans, therapy options, and community support. Together, we can create a world where every ability is valued and celebrated. 💙 #DyspraxiaWeek #DyspraxiaAwareness #SupportForAll #InclusiveCare #ConceptCare #CoordinationMatters #CelebrateAbilities #DisabilityAwareness #EmpowerThroughSupport #NDIS #DyspraxiaSupport
