💗 October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month! The Kendrick Foundation encourages our community to learn about breast cancer risk, ways to reduce it, and the importance of early detection.

🎀 Know your risk.
Risk factors include getting older, a family history of breast or ovarian cancer, certain inherited gene changes, and having dense breasts. Physical inactivity, alcohol use, and excess weight after menopause can also increase risk.

💪 Take steps to lower your risk.
While breast cancer cannot always be prevented, staying physically active, maintaining a healthy weight, and limiting or avoiding alcohol can help reduce your risk. Talk with your healthcare provider about your personal and family history and how hormone medications may affect your risk.

🩺 Make early detection a priority.
Mammograms do not prevent breast cancer, but they can help find it early, when it may be easier to treat. Ask your healthcare provider when to begin screening and how often to get screened based on your individual risk.

To everyone facing breast cancer, survivors, caregivers, and those remembering a loved one, we see you and stand with you. Together, we can build a more informed, caring, and supportive community. 💗

October is National Bullying Prevention Month, and preventing bullying is part of caring for young people’s mental health.

Being bullied can leave a young person feeling isolated, anxious, or unsure of where they belong. That’s why it matters when adults listen, peers include one another, and schools and communities respond when someone speaks up. 🧡

Check in with the young people in your life. Take concerns about bullying seriously, whether it happens in person or online. And remind them that asking a trusted adult for help is a sign of strength.

Let’s make sure that commitment continues every day so every young person knows they deserve to feel safe, supported, and included. 🧡

Head and neck cancer can sometimes develop without noticeable symptoms. Other signs may include a sore throat that does not go away, difficulty swallowing, hoarseness or voice changes, red or white patches in the mouth, nonhealing sores, lumps or swelling, or unusual bleeding from the mouth or nose. These symptoms can have many causes, but persistent changes are worth discussing with a health professional.

The screening is free, walk-ins are welcome, and pre-registration is available through the QR code on the graphic. Help us spread the word by sharing this post with a friend, family member, or neighbor who may benefit.

Together, we can help build a community where survivors are heard, believed, and supported.

October is Domestic Violence Awareness and Prevention Month—a time to recognize the impact of domestic violence, support survivors, and consider the role each of us can play in building safer communities. 💜

Today, on Purple Thursday, wearing purple can start a conversation. What matters just as much is what we do next: listen without judgment, respect survivors’ choices, and help people know that support is available.

With support from the Kendrick Foundation, help and resources are available locally within Morgan County. Learn more at https://kendrickfoundation.org/school-based-mental-health-initiative/ and https://kendrickfoundation.org/25-26-competitive-grantees/.
