Today, on International Men's Day, we celebrate Men’s Health Champions—men who prioritize their physical and mental well-being and motivate others to do the same. This year’s theme focuses on breaking down barriers around men’s health, tackling taboos, and encouraging men to seek help and lead healthier lives. From prostate cancer and testicular health to mental wellness, every step towards better health is a victory. Let’s encourage open conversations, support each other, and make health a priority. Whether it’s getting screened, talking about mental health, or inspiring others, every man can be a champion for his health. #IMD24 #MensHealthChampions #InternationalMensDay2024 #WardOfYourHealth

National Self-Care Awareness Month is the perfect time to start prioritizing both mental and physical health. We asked some of our SMA team members what they do for self-care. #self-care #nationalselfcareawarenessmonth

🌿 Welcome to Wellness Wednesdays with The Gateway Institute! 🌿 Today, let's dive into understanding Intrusive Thoughts, Images & Urges – a common aspect of Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD). Intrusive Thoughts, Images & Urges are unwelcome and distressing thoughts, images, or urges that repeatedly enter our mind. These intrusive experiences are often disturbing, irrational, and out of our control. They can range from fears of harm coming to oneself or others, to concerns about contamination, or even unwanted impulses to perform certain actions. At The Gateway Institute, we recognize the impact of these intrusive experiences on people who live with OCD. That's why we offer specialized treatment options designed to help individuals regain control over their thoughts and find relief from the distress they cause. Let's prioritize wellness together, one day at a time! 💚 #WellnessWednesdays #OCDawareness #MentalHealthMatters #TheGatewayInstitute #OCDtreatment #California #Arizona https://lnkd.in/dCsSg-XF

Beyond the Supermom Myth: Honoring the Realities of Motherhood. In the spirit of Mother's Day, let's celebrate the incredible strength and resilience of mothers. Motherhood is a beautiful and rewarding experience, but it's also a demanding journey that can take a toll on mental well-being. Many moms experience anxiety, depression, and other mental health challenges. This year, let's move beyond the superhero stereotype and embrace the realities of motherhood. We can do this by offering support and understanding. Here are some ways to show kindness to the mothers in your life: 1. Be an empathetic listener: Simply acknowledging their struggles can be a powerful act of support. 2. Offer practical help: Take on extra chores, offer childcare, or help with errands. 3. Encourage self-care: Support them in prioritizing their own well-being, whether it's a long walk, reading a book, or a relaxing bath. Remember, a happy and healthy mom creates a happier and healthier family environment. At Akoma Health we understand the specific mental health challenges faced by mothers. We offer resources and therapy services designed to support moms in navigating the ups and downs of motherhood. You can visit www.akomahealth.io to get started. #MentalHealthMatters #SupportMomd

What portrait are you painting of your health? 🎨 For some, it means building enough strength to create memories with loved ones, for others, it's about taking control of their diet or opening up about their struggles. Perhaps it's even about taking brave strides towards recovery from substance abuse. Join us as Dr. Patty Gibson, MD, our Medical Director for Behavioral Health, shares insights into the concept of whole-person health on our blog: https://lnkd.in/ednA3nmp. #Healthcare #Wellbeing #WholePersonHealth #BehavioralHealth #SubstanceUseDisorder
