January is Alzheimer's Awareness Month.

Alzheimer’s disease is the most common form of dementia, a condition affecting more than 85000 people across B.C. This number is set to triple by 2050.

Protect your hearing to reduce your risk: avoid loud sounds, get your hearing checked regularly, and wear hearing aids if you need them.

It’s easy to lose touch with people, especially at this busy time of the year. But making the connection is as easy as picking up the phone.

💞reconnect with someone you’ve been missing
👥check in on a friend who is alone over the holidays
🤳video chat with a loved one far away

If you need someone to talk to, we offer peer-to-peer guidance and tailored resource recommendations to help you navigate the mental health system in Victoria.

Don’t underestimate the power of hearing someone’s voice!

December 21 is the Winter Solstice, the shortest day of the year.

The rate of Vitamin D deficiency for Canadians more than doubles during the winter, due to lack of sunlight.

Vitamin D deficiency is strongly linked to depression and anxiety as well as loss of bone density.

Increase your vitamin D levels by

Eating foods like fatty fish, fortified milk, and eggs
Considering Vitamin D3 supplements (consult your doctor before starting any supplement routine)
Getting tested for Vitamin D deficiency if you suspect you have it
Getting outside, ideally around noon

And keep your head up…the days only get longer from here!
