June 15 – World Elder Abuse Awareness Day
June 15 marks World Elder Abuse Awareness Day, a time to reflect on our shared responsibility to protect and respect older adults. Elder abuse can take many forms—physical, emotional, or financial—and is often carried out by someone in a position of trust. Staying informed and vigilant is key: watch for signs such as neglect, sudden financial changes, or unexplained injuries. Encourage open conversations and strong support systems for seniors. If you suspect abuse, report it. Together, we can promote dignity, safety, and compassion for every elder in our community.

Exploring the great outdoors while camping and sleeping in natures heaven provides many health benefits through increased physical activity, better sleep, and fresh air as trees produce oxygen, improving lung function and overall respiratory health. This exposure to nature reduces stress, enhances mental clarity, boosts mood, and fosters emotional well-being, promoting relaxation and happiness.

At CFS, We offer therapeutic counselling services to families, couples, individuals and children. We also offer life improvement programs. Fees for counselling are based on ability to pay – no one is turned away because they cannot afford to pay. Counselling is available to all regardless of their race, religion or age.

We also offer single-session-format Rapid Access Counselling in partnership with Family Service Saskatchewan so that no one has to wait to see a mental health counselor. The service is for everyone and offers a conversation with a professional counsellor that could help you identify solutions, and build on your existing strengths.

Renovating or building isn’t just about materials and blueprints—it’s about creating safe, healthy environments that support physical and mental well-being. Following regulations, improving indoor air quality, and ensuring proper circulation and ventilation all play a vital role. Thoughtful design choices—like south-facing windows for more natural light and reduced energy use—enhance both comfort and efficiency. Addressing safety and mobility concerns, such as walk-in showers, easier-wide access bathrooms, and taller toilets, promotes independence and reduces risk. Combined with functional layouts and ergonomic design, these features create spaces that are practical, welcoming, and supportive of long-term wellness.

Not every product or service is easy to Promote. Some require more than a catchy slogan or visual Ad— That’s where the power of an editorial in the WellnessNEWS comes in. Unlike a traditional visual Advertisement, an Editorial allows you to PROVIDE INFORMATION, EXPLAIN the HEALTH BENEFITS, or PROVIDE TIPS and INFORMATION to Readers to help prevent a potential health/wellness issue. Readers engage with the editorials differently than they do with Visual Ads. They’re not just being told to buy a product or service—they are being educated and informed. Given time to understand the benefits to their health and wellbeing

Fostering, volunteering, and donating food to the SPCA are powerful ways to support animals in need. Foster homes offer a safe, loving space for pets to heal and thrive before adoption. Volunteers give their time and hearts, helping with daily care, socialization, and events. Food donations ensure every animal is well-fed and healthy, easing the shelter’s burden. Together, these acts of kindness create a community of care, giving every animal a better chance at life.

Adjustable beds can enhance mobility by providing support for individuals with mobility issues, making it easier to get in and out of bed independently. By adjusting the bed’s position, users can find a comfortable angle for movement, aiding tasks like dressing or eating in bed. This increased independence can improve overall quality of life for those with mobility challenges, promoting a sense of autonomy and reducing reliance on assistance.
