Community News
Alzheimer’s Support Groups
We often don’t realize just how much community and connection matter until we find a space where we can express our ideas, thoughts or worries. That’s what makes support groups at the Alzheimer Society so meaningful.
“Even those who are hesitant to attend at first quickly find they can relate to others in the group,” says Samantha Holland, First Link® Regional Team Lead at the Alzheimer Society of Manitoba. “Having their experiences validated keeps them coming back to what becomes a new community of support.”
The Society offers both in-person and virtual support groups for care partners and people living with dementia. Visit alzheimer.mb.ca to learn more about available support groups.
OSA & Men’s Health
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a serious men’s health issue that often goes undiagnosed. It affects breathing during sleep, causing repeated interruptions that lead to poor rest and increased health risks. Men are particularly vulnerable due to anatomical and hormonal factors. Untreated OSA is linked to high blood pressure, heart disease, stroke, diabetes, and depression. Loud snoring, gasping, and daytime fatigue are common symptoms. Early diagnosis through sleep studies and effective treatment—like CPAP therapy—can dramatically improve quality of life. Raising awareness and encouraging routine screening is essential to protect men’s long-term health and well-being. Sleep matters more than you think.

June Intuitive Insight
Oracle Card drawn by Lygia
Ramcharan – Righteousness “Now is a time to be centred. Go within and find your peace. Breathe. Let go of what no longer serves you. Allow nature to harmonize your senses. Know that whatever leaves you returns in a much better form. Righteousness is akin to spirituality. Know that you are being guided by a higher source and that you are never alone in your decisions. There is nothing to fear. If you feel unbalanced, simply go outside and ground in nature.”

June is Men’s Health Month
Men’s Health Month encourages men to focus on physical, mental, and social well-being. Throughout June, men are urged to set health goals and create a plan to achieve them. Men aged 15-65 are less likely than women to seek preventive care or have a primary care provider. Taking the first step by scheduling a visit with your primary care doctor can help identify needed screenings and build a foundation for long-term health. Prioritize mental health, manage stress, stay socially connected, and listen to your body. Men’s Health Month is a great time to take charge and commit to a healthier future.

Preventing Infections with Dentures
Maintaining good oral health with dentures is essential for preventing sores and infections. Poorly fitting or unclean dentures can rub against the gums, causing irritation, painful sores, and increasing the risk of fungal infections such as denture stomatitis. To prevent problems, dentures should be cleaned daily to remove plaque, bacteria, and food debris. Removing dentures at night allows the gums to rest and reduces moisture buildup that encourages infection. Regular dental checkups help ensure proper fit and allow early detection of oral issues. Healthy gums, good hygiene, and proper denture care are key to long-term comfort and oral health.
Pets and Bee Stings
Hot weather, blooming plants and buzzing insects can all spell trouble for your pets. If your curious pooch or pouncing feline gets stung by a bee, here’s what you can do: Scrape away the stinger if you can find it. Pulling the stinger with fingers or tweezers could rupture the poison sac allowing toxin to enter the bloodstream. If no medical history or treatments contraindicate, administer 1 mg Benadryl® per pound of your pet’s body weight and apply a cold pack for short periods at a time. If swelling is severe or if ANY breathing difficulties develop, do not delay—seek veterinary attention immediately.
