As Hepatitis Awareness Month wraps up, the work doesn’t stop.

Millions of people are living with hepatitis, and many don’t know it. That’s why awareness, testing, and access to care matter all year long.

Mental Health Awareness Month is coming to a close, but caring for your mental health isn’t limited to one month on the calendar.

Stress, anxiety, grief, burnout, and life’s challenges don’t follow a schedule—and neither should support.

As we wrap up May, we encourage you to keep prioritizing your well-being, checking in with loved ones, and giving yourself the same compassion you offer others.

The conversation continues long after this month ends.

Women’s health is community health.

Today, on the International Day of Action for Women’s Health, we recognize that access to healthcare, preventive services, mental health support, nutritious food, stable housing, and compassionate care can make a lasting difference in someone’s life.

At Damien Ministries, we believe everyone deserves access to the resources they need to live healthy, dignified lives. That includes supporting women as they navigate chronic illness, caregiving responsibilities, mental health challenges, and everyday wellness.

Health is more than a doctor’s appointment. It’s having the support, information, and community you need to thrive.

💜 Take time today to check in on your health—or encourage someone you care about to do the same.

Food safety is paramount for people with weakened immune systems.
According to Food Safety.Gov, you should always follow the four steps below to reduce your chance of developing a foodborne illness:

Clean: Wash hands, utensils and surfaces often. Germs can spread and survive in many places.

Separate: Raw meat, poultry, seafood, and eggs can spread illness-causing bacteria to ready-to-eat foods, so keep them separate.

Cook: Food is safely cooked only when the internal temperature is high enough to kill germs that can make you sick.

Chill: Refrigerate promptly. Bacteria that cause food poisoning multiply quickest between 40°F and 140°F.

Screening and testing for hepatitis C -
CDC recommends periodic testing for people with risk factors, like those who have HIV or share injection drug use equipment.

Contact us for free testing.

Hepatitis C often goes unnoticed because many people don’t experience symptoms right away. That’s why awareness, testing, and education matter.

The good news? Hepatitis C is treatable — and early detection can make a major difference.

This Hepatitis Awareness Month, take time to learn the facts, get tested if needed, and encourage others to know their status too.

Stress is a normal part of life, but chronic stress can take a toll on your mental and physical health. Prioritize rest, breathing, and balance. Your well-being matters—self-care is a fundamental part of health, not something optional.
