☕ Tea with an OT

Making a cup of tea seems simple… until life changes in a way that makes even the everyday feel overwhelming.

That’s where Occupational Therapy — or should we say O“Tea” — comes in.

OT helps people rediscover confidence, safety, and independence in the smallest moments. Because when you’re rebuilding your life, a cup of tea isn’t just a drink. It’s progress. It’s empowerment. It’s OTea in action.

This is the heart of OT: bringing dignity and possibility back into the ordinary. ☕💛

Less is best

You can reduce your drinking in steps! Remember, any reduction helps lower your health risks. Every little bit counts.

There are simple things that can help you drink at a level that’s right for you:

Stick to the limits you’ve set for yourself.

Drink slowly.

Drink lots of water.

For every drink of alcohol, have one non-alcoholic drink.

Consider alcohol-free or low-alcohol beverages.

Eat before and while you’re drinking.

Explore alcohol-free weeks or do alcohol-free activities.

If you're concerned about your drinking, take a look at some of the programs and services available here:

Season’s Greetings from Health PEI!

As we celebrate this festive season, we encourage everyone to prioritize well-being, safety, and community support.

The holidays can be joyful, but they can also bring stress and loneliness for some. Here are a few reminders to help us all care for ourselves and each other:

• Practice self-care: Take time to rest, eat well, and engage in activities that bring you peace and happiness.

• Check in on loved ones: A simple call or visit can make a big difference, especially for those who may be feeling isolated or overwhelmed.

• Access mental health resources: If you or someone you know is struggling, help is available. Call 1-833-553-6983 (toll-free)

• Show gratitude to frontline healthcare workers: Their dedication keeps our communities safe and healthy. Thank you for all you do!

Together, let’s make this season one of care, compassion, and connection. Wishing you and your loved ones a safe and healthy holiday season.
