Community Health Education - Nemours Children's Health
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.

Mental Health Literacy: Supporting Students' Mental Health During Summer Break
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!

School Based Assessment Program
School’s Not Out for Summer! Delaware County’s School Based Assessment Program (SBAP) Remains Accessible Through Summer Months
Delaware County reminds parents, caregivers, and students that the recently launched School Based Assessment Program (SBAP) that a provides vital behavioral health* support to Delaware County students will remain fully operational throughout the upcoming summer months when schools are not in session.
SBAP, part of the County’s Healthy Kids, Healthy Schools initiative, is dedicated to the early identification and intervention for behavioral health issues among Delaware County students. By providing essential mental health and substance use resources, the program fosters strong collaboration among schools, families, and students.
So, while the arrival of summer means ‘no more pencils, no more books’ for the majority of school-aged children, this critical school-based program will still provide essential support to young people in need of behavioral health resources.
Continuous Support Through Summer
Despite summer school closures, SBAP’s resources and support systems remain accessible. The dedicated Program Coordinator, a behavioral health professional, will continue to be available Monday through Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.
Additionally, treatment linkage, education, support, and resources will still be provided after hours, coordinated by the MVP Recovery 24/7 Peer Support Team. This ensures uninterrupted assistance for students and families, maintaining a stable support system year-round. MVP Recovery’s School Based Assessment Program and their 24/7 Peer Support Team can be reached at 1-855-MVP-2410.
