Mental Health Awareness Month: More Good Days, Together 💙

This Wellness Wednesday, a few small reminders that can make a big difference:

✨ Affirmations matter.
The words you say to yourself can help ground you in what matters most—reminding you of your strength and helping you feel calm and confident.

✨ Helping others helps you, too.
Whether it’s supporting a friend, volunteering, or giving back, acts of kindness can boost your mood and promote emotional well-being.

✨ You’re not alone.
If having more good days feels difficult, support is available. Talk to your MAHEC provider—we’re here for you.

The year after giving birth is a high-risk period. Dismissing symptoms as "normal" can be deadly. A severe headache might seem like exhaustion, but it could mean dangerously high blood pressure or postpartum preeclampsia.

If you're postpartum and experiencing a severe headache with vision changes, call your doctor now.

If you were given a teal "I GAVE BIRTH' bracelet after giving birth, wear it so medical professionals know your symptoms are significant.

Share so others recognize what the teal bracelet means.
-----------
El año después del parto es un periodo de alto riesgo. Descartar los síntomas como "normales" puede ser mortal. Un dolor de cabeza intenso puede parecer agotamiento, pero podría significar presión arterial peligrosamente alta o preeclampsia posparto.

Si estás en el periodo de posparto y experimentas un fuerte dolor de cabeza con cambios en la visión, llama a tu médico ahora.

Si te dieron un brazalete verde azulado después de dar a luz, úsalo para que los profesionales médicos sepan que tus síntomas son graves.

Comparte para que otros reconozcan lo que significa el brazalete verde azulado.

The year after giving birth is a critical health period, and ignoring symptoms could be fatal. Don't assume chest pain is only anxiety. If you're postpartum, it could be a sign of blood clots or a cardiac emergency.
🚨 Call 911.
This could be life-threatening. If you were given a teal bracelet after giving birth, wear it so medical professionals know your symptoms are significant.
💙 Share so others recognize what the teal bracelet means.
------------
El año posterior al parto es un período crítico para la salud, e ignorar los síntomas podría ser fatal. No asuma que el dolor de pecho es solo ansiedad. Si acaba de dar a luz, podría ser un signo de coágulos sanguíneos o una emergencia cardíaca.
🚨Llame al 911.
Esto podría poner en peligro su vida. Si le dieron una pulsera turquesa después del parto, úsela para que los profesionales médicos sepan que sus síntomas son importantes.
