🌸18 October – Menopause Awareness Day🌸
Menopause is a natural stage of life, but every woman’s journey is different.
Let’s break the silence, raise awareness, challenge the stigma and encourage open conversations about the physical and emotional changes that come with menopause.
Every woman deserves understanding, support, and access to the right information and care.
Together, we can create a world where no woman has to face menopause alone💚
Let’s talk, listen, support and empower🌷

Half way through the month, the beards are growing and the guys are doing their bit to raise awareness of mens mental health💚
Show them your support:

Stepping Stones are once again taking on a 'hairy challenge' throughout the month of October by growing beards to raise awareness of Men’s mental health (which can often be hidden behind a 'mask of masculinity').

🧠OCD Awareness Week 2026
OCD is more than being “neat,” “organised,” or “a perfectionist.”
It’s a serious mental health condition that can have a profound impact on someone’s everyday life.
This OCD Awareness Week, let’s challenge misconceptions, listen without judgment and encourage people to seek support when they need it💚
Awareness creates understanding & understanding creates compassion.
