Today is PTSD (Post-traumatic stress disorder) Screening Day — a day we mark to spread the word about self-screening. If you think you may have PTSD, take a self-screen linked below, or share it with someone you know who is concerned they may have PTSD.

We don’t always know how to talk about trauma or what it’s been like since the event. The online self-screen is a few yes-or-no questions about how you’ve been feeling. Your responses are private and are not collected or shared.

Why Self-Screen?

Taking a self-screen can be a good way to open a conversation with a health care provider. You can print your results to share with a provider to help them decide whether you should be assessed for PTSD or other conditions. Either way, knowing what is causing your symptoms is a step toward taking control. (National Centre for PTSD, USA)

Check our Mental Health Awareness Month event.
It is totally okay to accept our vulnerability and reach out for help. Vulnerability breeds connection, strength, and hope.

May is the Mental Health Awareness Month, and we would like to share one beautiful piece of music with you:
Japanese Bowl by Peter Mayer. Here is the link:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qOAzobTIGr8

I'm like one of those Japanese bowls
That were made long ago
I have some cracks in me
They have been filled with gold
That's what they used back then
When they had a bowl to mend
It did not hide the cracks
It made them shine instead
So now every old scar shows
From every time I broke
And anyone's eyes can see
I'm not what I used to be
But in a collector's mind
All of these jagged lines
Make me more beautiful
And worth a much higher price
I'm like one of those Japanese bowls
I was made long ago
I have some cracks, you can see
See how they shine of gold

Enjoy!

Peter Mayer is perhaps the most talented singer/songwriter/guitarist I've ever had the pleasure of meeting. I've put together this montage to honor his song ...

Spring is the time for new beginnings with longer days, more sunshine, plants' rebirth, and more outside activities. In this case, Spring is generally regarded as a happy season full of hope, especially for those that live in areas where there is a long cold winter.
But for many, the months of Spring can also bring irritability, anxiety, sinus issues, allergy flare-ups, and even colds. Our health professionals would like to use a holistic approach, including Acupuncture, Chinese Medicine, Psychotherapeutic Counselling, and more, to keep the whole of you balanced and your energy stimulated.
Please visit us online at www.cornerstonewellnessclinic.ca for more details, or simply call us at 226-988-9687 to schedule an appointment.

Crohn's disease is an inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) characterized by abdominal pain, diarrhea, intestinal obstructions, abdominal masses, fatigue, nausea, mouth ulcers, and many other disruptions of the gastrointestinal system. So many people suffered and tried to find one way to cure this disease.
Although it seems that there is no final cure for Crohn's disease, there are treatments that can help. Acupuncture is one of them.
Acupuncture is a safe, non-invasive, and widely available nonpharmacological option as adjunctive therapy for addressing root cause, managing disease activity and reducing symptoms in IBD.
Here is one article from Crohns & Colitis Foundation that explains how acupuncture works for patients with Crohn's disease.
