Illness, injury, disability, developmental difficulties, ageing or mental health challenges can sometimes make everyday activities more difficult. Occupational Therapy helps people overcome or adapt to these challenges so they can remain as independent as possible.

Occupational Therapists can support people with everyday activities such as getting dressed, preparing meals, moving safely around the home, returning to work or school and taking part in leisure activities. They may also recommend specialist equipment, adaptations or different ways of completing everyday tasks.

The Western Health and Social Care Trust provides Occupational Therapy across a range of areas, including children’s therapy, falls, stroke, neurological conditions, mental health, rehabilitation and community services. 👐

If you think Occupational Therapy could help you, find out more about the service, referrals and available support here:

It also includes information about ni****ne replacement therapy (NRT), other stop smoking medicines and where you can find additional help and support in Northern Ireland.

Looking after your s*xual health is an important part of looking after your overall wellbeing.

Good s*xual health is about being informed, making choices that are right for you and knowing where to access confidential advice and support when you need it. Sexual health can also have an impact on physical, mental and emotional wellbeing and relationships.

Practising safer s*x can help reduce the risk of s*xually transmitted infections (STIs) and unplanned pregnancy. The Western Health and Social Care Trust provides information about contraception, GUM services, s*xual health clinics and other useful s*xual health resources.

🏃‍♀️ Get moving with The Daily Mile!

Regular physical activity is an important part of helping children stay healthy, active and well. The Daily Mile is a simple initiative that encourages children to walk, jog or run outdoors at their own pace for around 15 minutes each day.

It’s free, simple to introduce and is designed to be a social, non-competitive activity where every child can take part at their own pace. 🌳

As well as supporting physical fitness, getting active can have positive benefits for children’s mental wellbeing, concentration and confidence.
