National Continence Awareness Week 17-23 September

The theme of this year’s campaign is how to cope with the emotional effect of incontinence. The Continence Foundation have a new leaflet, Helping You to Help Yourself. It is a self-help guide offering tips on how to maintain or regain the self-esteem and confidence that can be lost when bladder or bowel control is impaired. It also suggests how the condition can be explained to friends and relatives in an unembarrassing way. To obtain a copy of this leaflet please ring 0845 345 0165 or visit the Continence Foundation website: www.continence-foundation.org.uk
