An important reminder from to anyone who takes medication:

With warmer weather fast approaching it is EXTREMELY important to remember that some of us are less tolerant to the heat, and if you take certain types of medications you may be at a greater risk of heat exhaustion & heat stroke.

REMEMBER that the heat doesn’t just affect humans, please be sure to check on your pets too!

🔃 Thank you for this post ! 💚

Are you a NAMI Bucks County staff member, board member, or volunteer? Join us this Wednesday, June 3rd at 6:30 PM as transforms the NAMI Bucks County support space into a sanctuary for a staff wellness session.

Tamara and Jen will provide us with Yoga Nidra, sound healing, and aromatherapy.
