It’s Melanoma Awareness Month ☀️🧴

Friendly reminder: sunscreen isn’t just for beach days. Protect your skin, check for any new or changing spots, and don’t put off getting something concerning evaluated.

A little prevention now can make a big difference later 💙

May is Melanoma and Skin Cancer Awareness Month! It’s also Safe Sun Week from May 11-17. This month teaches us about the dangers of too much sun and the importance of being safe in the sun. Skin cancer is one of the cancers we can prevent, and using sunscreen can help keep you safe. To learn more, visit tinyurl.com/3zsxevxp.

Mother’s Day can hold many emotions all at once 💗

Today, we celebrate the mothers, grandmothers, and mother figures who love so deeply and give so much every day. We also hold space for the women still waiting to become mothers, those missing their mothers today, and the mothers carrying the unimaginable loss of a child.

Whatever this day looks like for you, we hope you give yourself grace and know you are seen, valued, and loved.

Happy Mother’s Day from all of us at IATW 🌷
