🎃 When the tricks of Halloween fade, there's a treat on the other side: an extra hour of sleep.

Daylight Savings Time ends on Sunday, November 2.

If time changes usually throw you off, try these tips to help you adjust:

💤 adopt a calming ritual before bed and limit screen time
💤 ease in by gradually shifting your sleep schedule
💤 if you need to take a nap, keep it short and sweet
💤 spend time outdoors to enjoy natural light
💤 keep a consistent exercise routine
💤 skip caffeine when it gets close to bedtime

If you typically have trouble falling asleep, talk to your primary care provider.

It’s normal to have questions about your body, mind and health and talking to your primary care provider or care team is a safe place to start. 💛

From sleep and stress to relationships and mental health, nothing is off-limits. People who play a role in their own care make better, more informed choices and stay healthier.

Your primary care team is here to listen, not judge. 👉 Share this with a teen or young adult in your life who might need the reminder that it’s okay to ask for help.

Misinformation about mental health can stop people from reaching out for support. Let’s set the record straight.💙

Support looks different for everyone. If you or someone you love is struggling, talk to your primary care provider. They can connect you with the right resources, including a referral to a psychologist or other mental health supports available through our and other programs.

This October, we’re recognizing 🧠

ADHD is a neurodevelopmental condition that affects people across all backgrounds, influencing attention, impulse control and emotional regulation.

💛 Awareness helps reduce stigma and opens the door to effective care. Behavioural strategies, parent training, structured environments and medical support can all play a role in helping youth thrive.

If you have questions about ADHD symptoms or need support, reach out to your primary care practitioner or PCN health team. We can help guide you to next steps and connect you with local resources.

🔎 What is an invisible disability?
The stranger next to you might look completely fine, but in reality, could be managing a mental, physical or neurological condition that impacts their quality of life, like:

• chronic pain or fatigue
• mental health conditions like anxiety or depression
• learning differences
• hearing or vision loss
• autoimmune disorder

If you live with a disability, know that your primary care provider and PCN health professionals, such as social workers and mental health counselors, can support you. Find out how: https://wetaskiwinpcn.ca/

🩵 This Invisible Disability Awareness Week, remember to always conduct yourself with kindness — you never know what others are struggling with.

Tuesday, September 30 is the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation. 🧡

It is a time to learn, reflect, and honour Survivors of residential schools, as well as the children who never returned home, and their families and communities.

Alberta Primary Care Networks are committed to listening, learning, and taking action to reduce barriers and improve primary care experiences for First Nations, Inuit, and Métis peoples.

We invite you to join us in marking the day by wearing orange and attending community events. From commemorative walks to Powwows, workshops, Elder storytelling, and film screenings, there are many opportunities to reflect and connect.
