As you go about your day this summer, you may notice a coworker with the sniffles or a person on the bus with a cough. Flu season is during the fall and winter, and while it is possible to catch the flu during the summer, this seems different. Most viruses die down during the summer months. So, is it the flu? Allergies? Or is it a summer cold?
At AFSPA, we are dedicated to promoting the health and wellness of our members. This includes highlighting chronic conditions, such as migraines and headaches, that can affect an individual’s quality of life. This Month, we are shedding light on National Migraine and Headache Awareness Month.
For many men, annual health checkups fall into the “I’ll get to it later” category—until something serious forces them to act. But skipping routine care can mean missing the early signs of chronic conditions that are far easier to manage when caught early.
In May, we celebrate Mental Health Awareness and Women’s Health Month. This is a time to recognize the physical and mental health challenges women face after giving birth. At AFSPA, we are committed to promoting the well-being of our members, and this month, we’re spotlighting an often overlooked but critically important issue, which is postpartum mental health.
May is Mental Health Awareness Month. At AFSPA, we believe that mental health is just as important as physical health. Recent policy changes have left many of the federal workforce without jobs or fearful that they will not have one soon. Some federal employees have received return-to-office mandates after working remotely for years. Returning to the office can be a difficult change. The uncertainty that hangs over federal employees can accelerate burnout and heavily affect mental health.
Infertility Awareness Week is the last week of April. Infertility has changed a great deal within the last ten to fifteen years. In the past, there was little support for those experiencing infertility. There were gaps in the healthcare system. Many were left wondering about infertility.
