Benefits of Group Counselling
Group counselling is therapy led by a qualified mental health professional that includes two or more participants in a group setting. In the group, participants work through the purpose of the group as a supportive function that helps both the individual participants and each other vicariously. Benefits include: *Support and perspective—individuals hear from and can receive perspective from others facing similar challenges. *Reduce isolation—people who are struggling often feel that they are all alone. *Skill Development—the therapist and group members share new coping mechanisms and skills. *Sense of Community—Group counselling can create a sense of belonging.

Your Dentures Need an Annual Exam
Even with proper care at home, a denturist needs to examine your dentures at least once a year. This preventive measure helps identify any issues with your dentures or oral health before they become more serious. Regular denture examinations ensure that your dentures remain in good condition and last as long as possible. Over time, it’s common for dentures to become loose or even begin to break. This is why annual check-ups are essential to maintaining oral health and keeping the dentures fitting you as best as possible. Your dentures play an important role in your life and deserve the care and attention needed to keep them in optimal shape.
When it’s Not Just Aging
While it’s true that some health conditions are more common with age, some symptoms should be discussed with your doctor. 1. Memory loss—this can sometimes be the result of medications, vitamin deficiencies, and some disorders. 2. Vision problems—getting treatment early for certain vision problems like glaucoma can prevent serious damage. 3. Tooth loss—regular dental care can help seniors avoid tooth loss. 4. Depression—certain health conditions and medications can make depression symptoms worse, but this problem can be treated professionally. 5. Weakness—A good exercise program can help prevent loss of muscle mass.

Early Detection Saves Lives
March is Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month! The month is dedicated to raising awareness of colorectal cancer and promoting healthy lifestyles to reduce the risk of developing it. Early detection saves lives—regular screenings can catch colorectal cancer in its early stages when treatment is most effective. If you’re 45 or older, or have a family history, talk to your doctor about getting screened. Prioritize your health this March! When caught early, colorectal cancer (CRC) is 90% curable. Although this disease can occur at any age, the good news is that it is preventable, treatable, and beatable!
Frequencies for Self-Healing
Electromagnetic fields (EMFs) are all around us in natural and man-made devices such as cell phones, microwaves, Bluetooth, and wireless internet. Some studies suggest that they are not dangerous and don’t impose any side effects. Unfortunately, many people complain about the damage that seems to be caused by EMFs—everything from headaches, nausea, and fatigue to various cancers, birth defects, and even death. We can protect ourselves from potential harm created by long-term EMF exposure by using the technology of the RAYD8 REGEN. It will support the body in detoxification and strengthen it for self-healing. Special Offer: 50% off your first session.
Healthy Eating for Healthy Aging
March is Nutrition Month, a great reminder that what we eat plays a key role in overall health, especially as we age. A balanced diet rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and lean proteins supports energy, brain function, and heart health. Hydration is just as important—aim for plenty of water throughout the day. For seniors, meal planning helps maintain proper nutrition. Eating smaller, frequent meals can be beneficial, and including calcium-rich foods like dairy, leafy greens, and fortified plant-based options supports bone health. Good nutrition fuels a strong body and mind, keeping us active and independent for longer!
