If you plan to enjoy more traditional festivities this year, we hope you have fun! Just remember that it's still important to consider ways you can stay safe as we enter cold and flu season and as cases of COVID-19 are still being reported. It’s also a good idea to brush up on some safety reminders if you plan to trick-or-treat.
It's important for all children to have healthy eating habits. To encourage this, WIC representatives work with families on goals that would be appropriate and achievable with each unique participant. If you’re needing some ideas to encourage healthy eating habits here are some suggestions from WIC Program Manager and Registered Dietitian Mary Wood.
So, did you receive a postcard in the mail asking you to fill out a Quality of Life (QoL) survey from Spokane Regional Health District (SRHD)? Or maybe you're just curious about what these postcards are?
In honor of August 31 being International Overdose Awareness Day, we want to remember those who have lost their lives from overdose and acknowledge the grief their loved one's face. We also want to remind those currently struggling with addiction that they are valued and there are resources to help keep them safe. Overdoses are preventable and everybody in our community can take steps to prevent them.
We don't know about you, but the further we get into August, the more it starts to feel like back-to-school season! For most families, that means shopping for new school supplies and creating a schedule to stay on top of after school activities. But August is also National Immunization Awareness Month, which is a great time to speak to your child's doctor or nurse about the vaccines they might need!
