Changing the way we talk about su***de can make it easier to have open conversations and seek support. This World Su***de Prevention Day, the theme “Changing the Narrative on Su***de” encourages us to challenge harmful myths and reduce the stigma that can keep people from speaking up.

Creating space for honest, compassionate conversations is an important part of su***de prevention. If you or someone you know needs support, call or text the 988 Su***de & Crisis Lifeline at 988.

Children build their relationship with food and movement early, making a supportive home environment especially important as they grow. Childhood Obesity Awareness Month encourages families to think about how everyday routines can support long term health without making weight the center of the conversation. By making nutritious foods accessible and finding enjoyable ways to stay active together, families can make healthy choices a natural part of everyday life. 🌱

Helping our communities prepare before an emergency happens—that’s public health. During National Preparedness Month, we’re highlighting the importance of having reliable information and knowing how to respond when severe weather or other emergencies affect our area.

Preparedness is a community effort, and sharing trusted resources gives residents the information they need to make informed decisions when conditions change.

HEALTH ALERT!

West Nile Virus has been detected in mosquitoes near Stanley Park and Shepard Kollack Park in Chatham Borough.

West Nile Virus is a viral infection spread through the bite of an infected mosquito. Many people infected with West Nile Virus do not develop symptoms. When symptoms do occur, they typically appear 3 to 15 days after a mosquito bite and may include fever, headache, body aches, nausea or rash. Severe illness, including high fever, neck stiffness or inflammation of the brain, is rare.

Residents are encouraged to take steps to help protect themselves and their community:

✅ Use an EPA-registered insect repellent with one of these active ingredients: DEET, Picaridin (known as KBR 3023), IR3535, oil of lemon eucalyptus (OLE), para-menthane-diol (PMD), or 2-undecanone.
✅ Wear long sleeves and long pants when possible
✅ Empty standing water from buckets, flowerpots, birdbaths, tires and other containers
✅ Make sure window and door screens are in good condition
✅ Limit time outdoors around dawn and dusk
✅ Use mosquito netting over cribs, strollers and baby carriers
