Prioritising Mental Health
This month we’ve been focusing on mental health at the Gansbaai clinic.

Looking after your hygiene is more than just staying clean - it's the key to better health, confidence, and overall well-being!
Why Hygiene Matters:
• Protects against germs and diseases.
• Helps kids stay healthy and miss fewer school days.
• Supports mental health by reducing stress and boosting mood.
Simple Tips for a Healthier You:
• Wash your hands regularly (scrub for 20 seconds!).
• Take daily baths or showers for cleanliness and relaxation.
• Keep nails trimmed and clean to prevent germs.
• Brush your teeth twice a day for a confident smile.
• Maintain a clean home to prevent illness and infections.
• Sneeze smart - use a tissue or elbow to stop the spread of germs.
