The Children and Youth with Special Health Care Needs program presents to you the next of our Nurturing Potential learning series. November is National Family Caregivers Month which makes it the perfect time to have a workshop focused entirely on caregiver self-care! Our team knows that being a caregiver for a child with special health care needs can come with it’s own unique set of obstacles. We are happy to present an opportunity for caregiver’s to spend a little time boosting their own mental wellbeing. 🧘🏻🫶🏻

Join Erin Lassial as she guides participants through a meditation exercise that invites deep relaxation and is followed by a sound bath of Tibetan sound bowls. After the sound bath, the Public Health Team will lead a self-care activity. This is a FREE opportunity, registration is required. Call the St. Lawrence Public Health Department with any questions at 315-386-2325.

*Participants are encouraged to bring a yoga mat or blanket to lay on during the sound bath, if they choose. You may also complete this event while sitting in a chair. * 🌟

When you live with diabetes, food is medicine.🥕🍇🍉

Knowing what to eat is the first step in putting your eating plan into action. Applying your knowledge and creating a daily routine will help you be successful. Start by focusing on one meal at a time and make changes that help you enjoy the eating experience. Once you have a routine in a place and know how eating decisions impact your blood glucose (blood sugar), you can continue to expand your skills and food experiences.
