On Monday Evening Chesprocott partnered with the Cheshire Youth and Human Services Committee at a Sound Bath Event at the Cheshire Parks and Recreation Building where we provided Narcan Training and provided opioid prevention resources. Each person trained received a free overdose kit with two doses of Narcan.

Narcan is a fast-acting medication that reverses the effects of an opioid overdose by blocking opioids in the brain and quickly restoring breathing. Getting trained in Narcan use prepares you to recognize and respond to an opioid overdose, and potentially save a life before emergency services arrive.

A sound bath is a meditative experience where participants relax while listening to soothing vibrations from instruments like singing bowls, gongs, or chimes, which are intended to promote deep relaxation and a sense of mental and physical calm.

March is National Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month, a crucial time to raise awareness about the second leading cause of cancer death in the U.S.. With rising cases in adults under 50, screening is now recommended starting at age 45.

Getting screened regularly is the key to preventing colorectal cancer (cancer of the colon or re**um). If you’re 45 to 75 years old, get screened for colorectal cancer regularly. If you’re younger than 45 and think you may be at high risk of getting colorectal cancer ( ex: have family history), or if you’re older than 75, talk to your doctor about screening.

Colorectal cancer doesn’t always cause symptoms, especially at first. That is why getting screened regularly is so important.

This week's "Try a New Vegetable" for Nutrition Awareness Month is Asparagus!

Asparagus is a popular spring vegetable known for its nutritional benefits, including being rich in vitamins (A, C, E, K, folate) and fiber, while being low in calories. It's a perennial plant whose young shoots are eaten, and it's versatile in cooking, often roasted, sautéed, or steamed, and can be used in dishes like pasta, frittatas, or salads.
