July is UV Awareness Month

In July, we raise awareness that UV is the root cause of most skin cancers and encourage the public to take precautions. The AAD recommends that the public #PracticeSafeSun by following three simple steps while outdoors: seek shade when needed, wear sun-protective clothing, and apply broad-spectrum, water-resistant sunscreen SPF 30+

Featured from Kids Health: How to Choose & Use Sunscreen

Mineral sunscreen sits on top of the skin and starts working immediately. Chemical sunscreen converts UV rays to heat and releases it from the skin. Takes 15-30 minutes to start working.

Apply sunscreen generously and reapply every 2 hours, sooner if you’ve been swimming or

sweating.

Join us in celebrating and supporting our LGBTQ+ students, not just in June but every day. Every student deserves to feel safe, accepted, and valued for who they are.

To our LGBTQ+ community: Your courage, resilience, and authenticity inspire us. We're committed to fostering an inclusive environment where everyone can thrive.

Summer break is here! While it's a time for fun and relaxation, let's not forget the importance of mental health for our students. Here are some tips to support their well-being:

1. Maintain a Routine: Encourage a balanced schedule with time for relaxation, activities, and self-care.

2. Stay Connected: Foster social connections with friends and family to reduce feelings of isolation.

3. Healthy Habits: Promote physical activity, a balanced diet, and sufficient sleep to boost mood and energy.

4. Mindfulness and Relaxation: Introduce mindfulness practices such as meditation, yoga, or jour-naling to manage stress.

5. Seek Help if Needed: Remind them that it's okay to seek help from mental health professionals if they feel overwhelmed.

Let’s create a supportive environment for our students to thrive and have a healthy and happy summer!

The play area is located next to the swing sets and slides by Pavilion 8 near the equestrian stables in the park and features a dozen interactive panes and activities for smaller children to enjoy while at the park.

Sensory playgrounds provide nurturing and inclusive environments that are designed to stimulate the senses such as sight, sound, smell, touch, balance, and proprioception. Sensory playgrounds support brain development, enhanced memory, development of ability to complex tasks, and problem solving.

Thank you to the Friends of Ridley Creek State Park for making this playground possible.

What is Delco Contact and How Does It Work?

Delco Contact supports families that are currently trying to access mental health services in Delaware County, by connecting with them through Family Peer Specialists (FPS) and Youth Support Partners (YSP.

We are excited to join with you and your family through our shared experience.

EXPECTED OUTCOMES

Here are some outcomes you can expect when Delco Contact partners with your family:

• We'll support through the application process of actively enrolling in Medical Assistance if needed
• We'll teach you about all the different mental health programs that are available to Delco residents and assist you in accessing the right services for you and/or your family
