SUMMARY:ADHD Awareness Month
DESCRIPTION:This October is ADHD Awareness Month.  Difficulty with attention\, concentration\, memory\, impulsivity\, hyperactivity\, and social skills — these are among the signs of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder\, which affects millions of people. \nADHD Awareness Month\, sponsored by the Attention Deficit Disorder Association\, highlights the latest research and clinical studies with the goal of bringing more effective treatments. Its guiding principle is that life can be better for those with #ADHD and for those who love or work with someone with ADHD. \n\n\n\nIt affects a wide variety of people\nNo demographic is immune from ADHD. It’s found in people of all ages and backgrounds. Nearly 10 % of children will be diagnosed with ADHD and more than 4 % of adults will exhibit symptoms. \n\n\n\n\nIt’s genetic\nNo one is to blame for ADHD. It’s a brain-based disorder that is often genetic. Family history can can play a role in children who are diagnosed. Prenatal risk is a factor — along with environmental toxins. \n\n\n\n\nADHD contributes to other problems\nThey include the loss of productivity at work or school\, relationship problems\, obesity\, and legal troubles. \nThe best way to change people’s views about ADHD is to let them know: it’s not about somebody else\, it’s about someone they know. \n  \n\n\n\nSource: ADHD AWARENESS MONTH (nationaltoday.com)

SUMMARY:Black History Month
DESCRIPTION:The ethos of Black History Month is to educate people on the achievements and contributions African and Caribbean heritage peoples have made to the UK’s history and culture. \n​Black History Month UK was the brainchild of Akyaaba Addai-Sebo\, a special projects officer at the Greater London Council. He wanted to boost the self-esteem of Black British children and young adults by educating on them on the achievements of Black people living in the UK. \nThe month has since evolved into a celebration of black history and culture that spans across multiple countries! \nThe theme for the month is ‘Legacies with Action: Understanding 60 Years of Change and Challenge.’  2025 marks 60 years since the UK’s first Race Relations Act — a landmark moment in the ongoing journey towards racial justice and equality. \n​ \n#BHM2025 #BlackHistoryMonth \nSource: IBHM-UK|Black History Month UK 2025 Theme – Legacies of Action

SUMMARY:World Stroke Day
DESCRIPTION:One in four of us will have a stroke in our lifetime. And 90% of those strokes could be prevented by addressing a small number of risk factors including high blood pressure (hypertension)\, irregular heartbeat (atrial fibrillation)\, smoking\, diet and exercise. \nJoin us on October 29th to drive public awareness of stroke symptoms and the need to #ActFAST. With 1 in 4 of us at risk of stroke in our lifetime\, it’s in everyone’s interest to know the signs of stroke. Time lost is brain lost and seeking emergency care as soon as symptoms are spotted saves lives and can enable treatments that improve our chances of a full recovery. \n#WorldStrokeDay is focused primarily on prevention with a focus on getting a health check to identify and help manage key risk factors for stroke \n\nhypertension\nsmoking\natrial fibrillation\ncholesterol\ndiabetes\n\nCheck for signs of a stroke\nThe main symptoms of a stroke can happen suddenly. They may include: \n\nface weakness – one side of your face may droop (fall) and it might be hard to smile\narm weakness – you may not be able to fully lift both arms and keep them there because of weakness or numbness in 1 arm\nspeech problems – you may slur your words or sound confused\n\nThe easiest way to remember these symptoms is the word FAST. This stands for: face\, arms\, speech and time to call 999. \n#ActFast \nSources:  World Stroke Day 2025 | World Stroke Organization \nSymptoms of a stroke – NHS \n
