As we continue to recognize National Su***de Prevention Month, let’s keep
breaking the silence by learning the warning signs and checking in on one
another. 💜
Someone may be struggling if they are:
• Talking about wanting to die or feeling hopeless
• Saying they feel like a burden to others
• Withdrawing from family, friends, or activities they once enjoyed
• Experiencing extreme mood swings or sudden changes in behavior
• Giving away important belongings or saying goodbye
• Increasing their use of alcohol or drugs
• Taking dangerous risks or acting recklessly
• Talking about feeling trapped or having no reason to live
These signs don’t always mean someone is thinking about su***de, but
they can be a signal that they need support.
Trust your instincts. Ask the question. Listen without judgment. Help them
connect with support.
If you or someone you know is in crisis, call or text 988 to reach the
Su***de & Crisis Lifeline.
Let’s break the silence and support one another. 💜

Did you know you can feel 100% healthy while plaque
quietly builds up in your arteries?
🛑That is why high cholesterol is often called a "silent" risk
factor. It does not cause headaches, fatigue, or chest pain
in its early stages. The only way to truly know your risk for
heart disease or stroke is to look beneath the surface.
For the first Monday of National Cholesterol Education
Month, let’s prioritize prevention over treatment. It takes
less than 10 minutes to schedule a routine checkup, but
that simple step can add healthy years to your life.
📞Your Action Step Today: Call your primary doctor to
schedule a routine preventative screening this week.
Our highly trained nurses here at the Brown County Health
Department offer routine screenings as well. Call to set up
an appointment.

September is National Su***de Prevention Month.
Let’s break the silence and support one another. 💜
Sometimes, simply asking someone, “Are you
okay?” can open the door to a conversation they
may desperately need. Check in on your friends,
family, coworkers, and loved ones. Listen without
judgment. Let people know they are not alone.
Together, we can create a community where it’s
okay to talk about mental health, ask for help, and
support one another through difficult times.
If you or someone you know is struggling or in
crisis, call or text 988 for the Su***de & Crisis
Lifeline.
Let’s break the silence. Let’s support one another.
Let’s remind people that hope and help are always
within reach. 💜

A few simple steps can help keep the health of your
septic system in tip top shape. Did you know that
putting fatty items such as milk, oils, and solids down
your drains, even a small amount will filter into your
septic tank and can jeopardize the
PH levels in your system and cause it to fail?
If your home is on a septic system and you have a
garbage disposal, it can clog and cause issues for your
septic system.
A few helpful tips can ensure the longevity of your
septic.

🩵💜 National Overdose Awareness Day – August 31 💜🩵
Today, we remember those we have lost, support those in recovery, and take action to
prevent overdose.
The truth is: Overdose is preventable. Education, awareness, and access to lifesaving tools
can make all the difference. Opioid overdoses can often be reversed with naloxone when
administered quickly.
🚨 Know the Signs of an Overdose
• Slow, shallow, or stopped breathing
• Unresponsiveness or inability to wake up
• Blue or gray lips and fingernails
• Pinpoint pupils
💙 Naloxone Saves Lives
Naloxone is a safe medication that can quickly reverse an opioid overdose and restore
breathing. Anyone can administer it, and it can save a life while waiting for emergency
responders.
📍 The Brown County Health Department offers FREE naloxone.
Stop by or contact us to learn how to obtain naloxone and receive overdose prevention
education.
🤝 Every life matters. By reducing stigma, learning the signs of overdose, and carrying
naloxone, we can help protect our families, friends, and community.

Today we are focusing on clean water and how we can
make sure we are taking care of the environment by
properly disposing of harsh chemicals properly.
It is easy to forget that what we pour down our drains
our dump in our driveways and yards ends up in our
creeks and rivers.
With a little preparation and know where you can find
the best resources for help, we can keep our waterways
clean.
