You might've seen these amazing illustrations hanging in one of our clinics! 😍Chest exams improve the chances of finding breast cancer early, and the earlier it’s found, the easier it is to treat. To keep your chest healthy, you should aim to get exams:
📌 Every 1 to 3 years from ages 25-39
📌 Every year when you turn 40

👉 Your doctor or nurse may recommend you do screening earlier or more often if you have certain risk factors for breast cancer. To learn more: https://brnw.ch/21wNmcM

🚨CW: SA

Consent means ACTIVELY agreeing to be s*xual with someone, and s*xual activity without consent is r**e or s*xual assault. Consent is ⬇️

📍Freely given: Consenting is a choice you make without pressure, manipulation, or under the influence of drugs or alcohol.
📍Reversible: Anyone can change their mind about what they feel like doing, anytime.
📍Informed: You can only consent to something if you have the full story.
📍Enthusiastic: When it comes to s*x, you should only do stuff you WANT to do, not things that you feel you’re expected to do.
📍Specific: Saying yes to one thing (like going to the bedroom to make out) doesn’t mean you’ve said yes to others
