It’s back to school season. Unfortunately it can also mean an uptick in asthma flares. Here’s a tip sheet on asthma devices for your families from the Michigan Association of School Nurses and MDHHS Asthma Action Group #masn, #nasn, #mpha, #schoolhealth https://lnkd.in/g65aB7ap

Practicing yoga or other forms of mindful meditation regularly can help you have more energy and lower stress. It could be the missing piece to spice up your workout routine or a way to start moving more if you’re not the active type, are older or have physical limitations.

The life choices you make can affect your physical health, #MentalHealth & overall well-being. Incorporate dimensions of wellness into your life—like 😊 emotional wellness—which can help better manage your condition & experience of recovery.

If you see a teen or adult collapse, rise up to the challenge: Call 911 and push hard and fast in the center of the chest. Hands-Only CPR can save a life. #NationofLifesavers

❤️🧡💛 YOU MATTER 💚💙💜 You deserve to be here. You deserve to live, thrive and be happy. But if you’re ever struggling emotionally, #988Lifeline is here to help. https://lnkd.in/erkgudgg
