The Dapi Care

World Mental Health Day is a reminder to prioritize your mental health. There's no shame in taking care of yourself and getting the help you need. You're not alone in this journey, and there are many people who are ready to support you. Take some time today to check in with yourself and do something that brings you joy. Your mental health matters! 😊

People with Sickle Cell Trait (SCT) usually do not have any of the symptoms of sickle cell disease (SCD), but they can pass the trait on to their children.

HOW SICKLE CELL TRAIT IS INHERITED?
• If both parents have SCT, there is a 50% (or 1 in 2) chance that any child of theirs also will have SCT, if the child inherits the sickle cell gene from one of the parents. Such children will not have symptoms of SCD, but they can pass SCT on to their children.
• If both parents have SCT, there is a 25% (or 1 in 4) chance that any child of theirs will have SCD. There is the same 25% (or 1 in 4) chance that the child will not have SCD or SCT.

Remember to on Sickle Cell as we celebrate this year's
