This Breast Cancer Awareness Month, we honor the strength and resilience of everyone impacted by breast cancer, including survivors, those currently in treatment, caregivers, and loved ones.

Taking care of your health starts with staying informed and making preventive care a priority. Your primary care provider (P*P) can help you understand your risk factors, discuss recommended next steps, and connect you with the care and support you need. Early detection and regular screenings can make a meaningful difference. This month, we encourage everyone to prioritize their health and support those affected by breast cancer. 💗

📞 CenCal Health members can contact Member Services for help understanding their benefits or finding a provider.

This World Mental Health Day, we're reminded that mental health is an essential part of overall well-being. Whether you're managing stress, facing a difficult time, or simply need someone to talk to, seeking support is a sign of strength, not weakness.

No one should have to navigate life's challenges alone. Access to behavioral health services can provide the support, guidance, and resources needed to help individuals and families thrive.

“On World Mental Health Day, we recognize that mental health awareness and reducing stigma start with making it safe to be honest. We do not have to pretend that the hard parts of being human are not happening. When we can talk openly about mental health and respond without judgment, we make it easier for people to ask for support,” said Rachel Lambert, LMFT, MBA-HCM, Behavioral Health Director at CenCal Health

If you're a CenCal Health member and would like help connecting to behavioral health services, our Behavioral Health team is here for you.

📞 CenCal Health members can call 1-877-814-1861 to learn more about available behavioral health resources and support.

💚Your mental health matters. Support is available, and every step forward matters.

September is Su***de Prevention Awareness Month.

It's kinda chic to ask for help.

It's kinda chic to check in on a friend.

It's kinda chic to listen without judgment.

And it's definitely kinda chic to remind people they matter.

The reality is that no one is meant to carry life's heaviest moments alone. A text, a conversation, or simply showing up for someone can make a meaningful difference. This month, let's help normalize mental health conversations, reaching out for support, and creating space for connection. Asking for help is a sign of strength, not weakness.

✨ Save this post as a reminder that support is always available.

✨ Share it to help spread hope, awareness, and connection during Su***de Prevention Month.

If you or someone you know is struggling:
