Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender and Queer (LGBT+) Pride Month is currently celebrated each year in the month of June to honour the 1969 Stonewall Uprising in Manhattan.

Did you know:

The Stonewall Uprising was a tipping point for the Gay Liberation Movement in the United States. In the United States the last Sunday in June was initially celebrated as “Gay Pride Day,” but the actual day was flexible. In major cities across the nation the “day” soon grew to encompass a month-long series of events. Today, celebrations include pride parades, picnics, parties, workshops, symposia and concerts, and LGBT Pride Month events attract millions of participants around the world. Memorials are held during this month for those members of the community who have been lost to hate crimes or HIV/AIDS. The purpose of the commemorative month is to recognize the impact that lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender individuals have had on history locally, nationally, and internationally.

By all estimates, there were three to five thousand marchers at the inaugural Pride in New York City, and today marchers in New York City number in the millions. Since 1970, LGBT+ people have continued to gather together in June to march with Pride and demonstrate for equal rights.

Melanoma is the 5th most common cancer in the UK, and although it is more common in older people, it is relatively common in younger people. In 2015 about 16,000 people in the UK were diagnosed with melanoma, and within the last decade this number has increased by almost 50%. Over 2,500 of these people will develop advanced disease.

Treatment of Advanced Melanoma has recently been transformed by introducing immunotherapies and targeted inhibitors in the treatment of patients who are not cured by surgery

May 2021 is National Teen Self Esteem Month and we give full focus on helping our teens feel good about themselves.

Most of us have suffered with self-esteem issues at some point in our lives. The teenage years are especially difficult for many young people. On top of the physical, hormonal, and emotional changes, teens also have the added stress of starting new relationships, extreme educational expectations, and unprecedented societal pressure driven by social media and the like.

As, May 2021 is Teenage Self Esteem awareness month we thought we’d share some examples of how we can all step up and play our part:

1. 1. Get physical – Take a walk and talk
   2. Be available to listen and leave judgement at the door
   3. Lead by example – talk positively about yourself and others
   4. Show that you are a trustworthy confidant
   5. Teach them how to receive compliments
   6. Encourage small challenges / develop hobbies
   7. Be a good mentor – share hints & tips, and sign posts to help
