So May is #NationalWalkingMonth encouraging you to get active and learn about local walks and the benefits to your physical and mental health. Why not encourage staff to walk to work and share their journeys on social media?
May is also……..
#NationalSpeechLanguageHearingMonth, an opportunity to raise awareness about communication disorders, educate the public about the importance of human communication, what we can all do to prevent and address communication disorders and the role of specialists in providing life-altering treatment.
Spreading that message is particularly critical now, as coming out of the pandemic more children are manifesting communication delays and disorders, the World Health Organisation is warning about hearing loss from loud noise exposure, and the ageing population is expected to experience communication challenges.
