Protect Your Kids from the Flu

Children are especially vulnerable to influenza, and it can hit hard with high fevers, coughs, body aches, and fatigue. Left unchecked, it may even lead to serious complications.

The best protection? A flu shot for kids is safe, effective, and the first step in keeping little ones healthy. To learn more take a look at this article from John Hopkins Medicine: https://www.hopkinsmedicine.org/health/conditions-and-diseases/influenza/influenza-flu-in-children

Teenage va**ng is a growing concern, and it’s time to talk about the real and serious risks it carries. Many teens believe that va**ng is a safer alternative to smoking, but the truth is, it’s just as harmful. Va**ng introduces toxic chemicals into the body, and studies show that it can damage the lungs, increase the risk of respiratory problems, and cause heart disease.

It's time to recognize that va**ng isn't a harmless habit. The long-term effects of inhaling ni****ne and toxic chemicals can be devastating, especially for developing lungs and hearts. By staying informed and making healthier choices, we can help prevent teens from falling into this dangerous trend. Let’s work together to raise awareness and help protect the health of future generations.

Flu season is here, and getting your flu shot is one of the best ways to protect yourself, your loved ones, and your community. It’s a simple step that can make a big difference in preventing the spread of illness. It takes about two weeks for the vaccine to become fully effective, so it's important to get vaccinated as soon as you can to stay ahead of the flu season.

We want to make sure that everyone has access to the flu shot, no matter their circumstances. That’s why we offer mobile vaccine clinics and a homebound program for community members with mobility issues. Whether you’re at home or on the go, we are here to make the process as easy and convenient as possible. Your health and safety matter to us, and we are committed to ensuring that you have the opportunity to protect yourself and those around you.

We all go through tough times, and at some point, we all struggle. Yet, too often, mental health challenges are faced in silence, which is why it’s important to remember that asking for help isn’t a sign of weakness. It’s a brave and powerful step toward healing. Whether you're reaching out to a professional, confiding in a friend, or just taking a moment for self-care, taking action is what truly matters.

The importance of mental health cannot be emphasized enough. That’s why we hope you’ll join us today in recognizing 𝗪𝗼𝗿𝗹𝗱 𝗠𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗮𝗹 𝗛𝗲𝗮𝗹𝘁𝗵 𝗗𝗮𝘆. It’s the perfect opportunity for us to talk more openly about mental health and support those who may be struggling. It's a day to remind ourselves and those around us that no one should face their mental health journey alone.

Let's use this day to raise awareness, break down stigma, and encourage others to reach out when they need help. Together, we can create a world where mental health is prioritized, and everyone has access to the support they deserve.

Stop the Spread!

Flu spreads mostly through coughs, sneezes, and close contact. You can help stop it by practicing simple habits every day:

• Wash your hands often (20 seconds with soap!)
• Cover coughs and sneezes, use a tissue or your elbow
• Stay home and keep distance when you're sick (at least 24 hours after your fever is gone)
• Clean frequently touched surfaces and don’t touch your face too much

These small steps protect you and everyone around you! For further information check out this article by American Red Cross: https://www.redcross.org/get-help/how-to-prepare-for-emergencies/types-of-emergencies/flu-safety.html?srsltid=AfmBOoq9eN99TY7FCDV19i2d6AId42luEDzzmxRl2B8-gKbP1_8M5suf
