Self Care Week
13 November 2023
Self Care Week (13-19 November) is an annual national awareness week that focuses on embedding support for self care across communities, families and generations.
Organised by the Self Care Forum and supported by the NHS, the theme for 2023 is ‘Mind & Body’.
A range of health messages will be shared during Self Care Week including:
- taking vitamin D supplements, particularly important for those shielding and unable to go outside
- good nutrition and regular exercise to support general wellbeing and help maximize people’s immunity
- adopting positive lifestyle choices
- increasing health literacy levels in the community and in schools
- supporting mental wellness by keeping connected, ensuring a sense of perspective, and taking further steps to maintain health
- understanding how to manage minor and long term health conditions.
