Onset hearing loss is usually gradual, so it can take a long time for people with hearing impairment to realize there is a problem. While starting a conversation with a loved one experiencing hearing loss may be difficult, it’s a key step towards a solution. Strategies for having productive conversations include: *Aim to have serious discussions early in the day, before navigating daily activities. *Ask helpful questions to create an open dialogue and make everyday communication easier. For examples: “Should we have this conversation in a quieter location?” *Focus on facts and specific symptoms and encourage them to get a professional evaluation.

September is Recovery Month
Since 2012, a network of people in recovery, families, service providers, and entire communities have come together to celebrate RECOVERY.
WHY IS RECOVERY DAY IMPORTANT
Thousands of individuals are affected by substances use disorder and may never receive the support they need, leaving hundreds of Canadians to die each month. While there is no cure for addiction, there is a solution. Together we build awareness, challenge societal Stigma, and above all else show our community that recovery is real, attainable and sustainable.WHAT IS STIGMA
The stigma around substance use is one of the biggest barriers for people seeing and receiving treatment for addiction. Stigma is often displayed in the forms of discriminatory attitudes and beliefs, and behaviours. Stigma is a significant barrier to getting help for those with a substance use disorder, or who have used substances in the past. As a society, the words we use to describe people and their health conditions influence and reflect our attitudes and approaches to helping them. Language evolves and continuously adapts to respond to changes in society’s values and understanding of oppression in our culture.
International studies by the World Health Organization show that people with alcohol and drug use disorders are among some of most stigmatized individuals of all health conditions.
NATIONAL STATISTICS SHOW
3.3 Million people die each year due to the harmful use of Alcohol.
35,000 people die from alcohol and drug use disorders. Only 14% of people who meet the criteria for a drug use disorder receive any treatment for it.

Yellow Blooms Boost Mood
Yellow flowers have a remarkable impact on mental health, offering both visual and psychological benefits. Their bright, sunny hue is known to evoke feelings of happiness and positivity, counteracting stress and anxiety. Yellow symbolizes hope and optimism, often uplifting the spirit and enhancing mood. Studies suggest that exposure to vibrant colors, especially yellow, can stimulate mental activity and boost energy levels. Flowers like sunflowers, daisies, and marigolds not only beautify spaces but also create a warm, inviting atmosphere. Incorporating yellow flowers into daily life, whether at home or work, can be a simple yet effective way to promote emotional well-being.
Balance Your Hormones Naturally
What does hormonal imbalance look like? Hot flashes, night sweats, bloating, irritability, brain fog, irregular cycle, and fatigue are just some of the symptoms. If you suffer from any of these symptoms and haven’t been able to find relief, why not try balancing your hormones naturally. Biofeedback testing and treatment help to detect imbalances and stimulate hormone-producing organs to balance the body. Another effective option is to get your body tested to see if it is lacking specific hormone-related nutrients. If you are, natural nutritional formulations can be taken to correct the hormonal imbalance and relieve your symptoms.
