Every year, people around the country use #DyingMattersAwarenessWeek as a moment to encourage all communities to get talking💬 Honest, timely conversations about death and dying are essential to good end of life care. Yet all too often barriers, including lack of confidence, taboos around discussing death, and confusion about who should be having these conversations mean patients, carers and families may not understand what is happening, or get all the information and support they need. We’re encouraging Teesside to talk about having those end-of-life conversations. Because the way we talk about dying, matters💜 Visit teessidehospice.org to see how you can get involved in Dying Matters Week. #GetTalking #TeamTeesside #HospiceCare #HospiceSupport

🚨 Reminder: Check the Backseat! 🚨 As temperatures rise, it's crucial to remember the importance of checking the backseat before you exit your vehicle. Since 1998, a heartbreaking 972 pediatric deaths have occurred due to heatstroke after being left in hot cars. Texas holds the tragic record with 134 of these deaths. 🌞 Why It Matters: • Children are more vulnerable to heatstroke because their bodies heat up 3-5 times faster than adults. • Even a short time in a hot car can be fatal. • The temperature inside a car can increase by 20 degrees in just 10 minutes, even with a window cracked. Share this message and help save lives. Let's work together to ensure no child is left behind in a hot car. Stay vigilant, stay safe. 🌟 #CheckTheBackseat #HeatstrokePrevention #ChildSafety #SummerSafety #CAS
