💙 Men’s Health Week is a good reminder of the habits and routines you should be doing that help men stay well throughout the year. Building simple health routines can make life more enjoyable, and it just takes a few small steps to get started.

💬 The Men’s Health Survey is a helpful way to get a quick sense of where your health routines are at, but it’s not a replacement for a doctor’s visit.

💜 Older people in our communities deserve safety, dignity, and respect, yet many experience harm that’s often hidden.

Elder abuse can look like being dismissed, isolated, manipulated, taken advantage of, or financially exploited. It can happen whether someone lives alone or with others, and it’s often caused by the very people they trust.

💛 It frequently goes unreported because of shame, fear, or stigma. If something doesn’t feel right, or if you notice unusual behaviour, taking that first step can make a real difference.

đź”— Let's take a minute to learn more about elder abuse and how to seek help here this World Elder Abuse Awareness Day:

💚 This June is Bowel Cancer Awareness Month, and we’re encouraging New Zealanders to get to the bottom of it. Know the symptoms of bowel cancer, start conversations that could save lives, and take action early. Statistics shows bowel cancer is curable in over 90% of cases when it’s found early, so now is the right time to check in with yourself.

💬 If something doesn’t feel right, it’s always best to get checked. A quick 2‑minute online symptom checker can help you understand what to look out for and prepare you for your doctor’s appointment.

đź©ş The National Bowel Screening Programme is also available for eligible men and women aged 58 to 74, offering free screening to help catch bowel cancer early.

🌡️As the days get colder and more bugs start circulating, it's good to know the common symptoms of a cold, the flu, or COVID‑19. Because these illnesses all affect your airways, it’s always a good idea to rule out COVID‑19 first with a quick RAT test.

💙If your symptoms linger for more than two weeks or if your flu symptoms become severe, it’s best to check in with your doctor for support.

👉You can learn more about symptoms and how to care for yourself at home here:
