February is teen dating violence awareness month.

This month it is important to raise awareness and educate our youth and young adults that real love respects. If your teens are in a relationships, let them know all relationships exist on a spectrum from healthy to abusive, with unhealthy relationships somewhere in the middle.

If you or your teen recognize any of these warning signs in your relationship it is important to find support and safety.

Dating abuse is an attempt by abusive partners to gain or maintain power and control, and it comes in many forms. Abuse usually isn’t isolated — it forms a pattern of behaviors that collectively make the victim question their own self-worth and become further entrenched in the abusive relationship.

January is Radon Awareness Month

Radon can build up to harmful levels in any home or building anywhere in the world.

Radon is a radioactive gas that is naturally released in the air from rocks and soil. It can be found in the air outside and can build up inside buildings and homes.
There is no known safe level of radon. Aiming for the lowest radon level you can achieve in your home will reduce your risk of harmful health effects, including lung cancer.

Test your home radon level. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) recommends contacting a qualified professional to install a radon reduction (also called radon mitigation) system if your home radon level is at or above 4 pCi/L of air. EPA also recommends taking action to reduce radon if your home radon level is from 2 pCi/L through 4 pCi/L.
