This spring, we partnered with la Commission Scolaire de Langue Française to expand our Youth Vaping Awareness Days Program to all French schools on PEI. This program was delivered in French to grade 7, 8, and 9s.

Check out new the new French Resources for Youth Vaping Awareness created by @LungNsPei as part of our #WellnessGrant program #BreatheWell

#UnstructuredPlay has endless benefits- it has been shown to improve attention, concentration, improves emotional wellbeing, and even helps develop coping skills and manage adversity. #MoveWell

Medication, alcohol, tobacco, cannabis, cleaning supplies, and other harmful chemicals should always be kept out of reach to avoid accidental poisonings. It is all of our responsibility to keep kids safe. #NationalPoisonPreventionWeek @parachutecanada

Try choosing water over that alcoholic or sweetened drink this weekend! Reducing our sugar and alcohol intake from beverages has huge overall health benefits, including reducing our risk for chronic diseases. If you choose to drink alcohol, try alternating each drink with water

Most #youth know why they should quit #vaping but they don’t know how. “I quit for me” provides practical information on dealing with withdrawal, crushing cravings and resisting the urge to start again. It’s also a helpful resource for #educators: ow.ly/FLTQ50QtwVO

Did you know the new Canadian Guidance on Alcohol and Health recommends that drinking less is best for your health? ❤️ Any reduction in alcohol use has benefits! Visit ➡️princeedwardisland.ca/ChooseWell for more information.

Small steps like reducing screen time, getting outdoors for some fresh air, and connecting with friends can have a big impact towards improving your mental wellbeing #FeelWell PS - By the end of February, we will have gained almost an hour of extra daylight each day!
