🚨 A Fever and Headache Could Be More Than “Just a Bug.”

Meningococcal Meningitis can become serious very quickly, sometimes within hours. Knowing the warning signs could help save a life.

Common symptoms may include:

✅ Fever
✅ Severe headache
✅ Stiff neck
✅ Sensitivity to light
✅ Confusion or unusual drowsiness
✅ Vomiting
✅ A rash that does not fade when pressed (for some types of meningitis)

Meningococcal Meningitis is not always easy to recognize. Early treatment is important.

- Babies and young children may show different symptoms, making it harder to recognize.
- If you suspect meningococcal meningitis, seek urgent medical care immediately.
- Symptoms can worsen rapidly and require prompt treatment.

⚠️ If you or someone in your household has symptoms of meningococcal meningitis, contact your medical health provider.

🛡️ Protection starts with prevention. Stay up to date with recommended immunizations and help reduce the risk of meningitis in your community.

Learn the signs, share this post. Help raise awareness to protect lives.

Gifts from the Land to Community: A Northern Saskatchewan Food Resource

This resource takes readers on a journey through the seasons, exploring traditional foods and practices while emphasizing the importance of eating together, sharing knowledge, and passing cultural traditions on to future generations. It also provides information on building balanced meals and snacks, staying active, and practicing self-care to help prevent and manage chronic diseases.

Gifts from the Land to Community can be used by healthcare providers, clients, community organizations, and anyone interested in learning more about eating well.

This project is a collaboration between the Healthy Eating Team of the Northern Healthy Communities Partnership and Public Health Nutritionists from the Saskatchewan Health Authority.

Protect Yourself and Those Around You. Get Immunized.

Flu season is here, and getting your flu shot is one of the easiest ways to protect yourself from the most common flu strains. A quick appointment can help keep you healthy and reduce your risk of serious illness.

Flu shots are safe. You can't get the flu from the vaccine, and any side effects are usually mild and short-lived.

Protect more than yourself. When you get vaccinated, you're helping protect your family, Elders, young children, and community members who may be more vulnerable to flu complications.

NITHA recommends a flu shot for everyone 6 months of age and older, especially:

• Adults 65+
• Children under 5
• Pregnant women
• People with chronic health conditions
• Residents of long-term care facilities
• Health care workers
• People living in crowded conditions

This flu season, take a simple step that makes a big difference.

Protect Yourself. Protect Your Family. Protect Your Community. Get your flu shot today.

PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT

Protect Yourself, Prevent the Spread of Flu and Other Respiratory Illness

Northern Inter-Tribal Health Authority (NITHA) public health officials are advising northern residents to protect themselves and prevent the spread of seasonal influenza (Flu) and other respiratory viruses. Free Flu and COVID-19 vaccines are available in your community health center.

In order to protect yourself and your loved ones during this flu season, it is important to get immunized. “Flu and COVID-19 vaccines are recommended for everyone six months of age and older,” said Dr. Nnamdi Ndubuka, Medical Health Officer with NITHA. “Vaccination is the best way to reduce the risk of
serious complications.”

It is safe to get a COVID-19 vaccine at the same time as a flu vaccine. Getting the vaccines are especially important for people most at risk of serious illness from influenza and their caregivers. For some groups, including children under five years of age, pregnant women, people ages 65 and older, healthcare
workers, and people with certain health conditions, the flu can cause very serious illness and can even be life-threatening.

In addition to getting vaccinated, these everyday preventive actions can stop the spread of germs that can cause respiratory illness like the flu:

• Cover your nose and mouth with a tissue when you cough or sneeze. After using a tissue, throw it in the trash and wash your hands.
• Try to avoid close contact with sick people.
• Keep your distance from others to protect them from getting sick.
• Avoid touching your eyes, nose or mouth because germs spread this way.
• Wash your hands often with soap and water. If soap and water are not available, use an alcohol based hand sanitizer.

Schools and Daycare centres can implement the following enhanced measures to reduce the spread of infections:

• continue to encourage daily self-monitoring of all students, staff and visitors for influenza-like illness symptoms;
• review and complete environmental cleaning and disinfection protocols and enhance cleaning and disinfection of the facility;
• maintain accurate records of staff and student attendance, including school transportation, before and after school program, etc.
• make hand sanitizing stations readily available
• encourage uptake of the flu and COVID-19 vaccines.

Animal rescues across Saskatchewan are asking for your help.

One of the best ways to support rescues is by treating pets as family members. Make sure they have access to nutritious food, fresh water year-round, proper shelter, and the care they need to thrive.

You can also help by sharing rescue posts, supporting fundraising events, and advocating for spaying and neutering. These efforts help reduce unwanted litters, control pet populations, and ease the burden on rescues working tirelessly in our communities.

Together, we can make a difference for animals across Saskatchewan. ❤️

October 10 | World Mental Health Day

This year’s theme, “Lived Experiences Heard: Real Voices, Real Change,” reminds us that every mental health journey is unique and every voice matters.

Mental wellness is a balance of our mental, physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being. By creating space to listen, learn, and support one another, we can help reduce stigma and build stronger, healthier communities.

Here are a few ways to support mental wellness:
• Listen with care and have honest conversations
• Build positive support systems
• Offer a helping hand or a listening ear
• Strengthen resilience through healthy coping skills
• Know where to turn for help when support is needed
• Promote and participate in cultural activities
• Nourish your body with healthy food, water, movement, and rest

Today, take a moment to check in with yourself and those around you. A conversation can make a difference.

Everyone’s story matters. Mental health is health.

October is ADHD Awareness Month 💙 🧠

ADHD (Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder) is a medical condition that affects how a person focuses, stays organized, controls impulses, and manages everyday tasks.

Did you know?

✅ ADHD can affect children, teens, and adults.
✅ It can affect anyone, regardless of gender or background.
✅ There are three types of ADHD: inattentive, hyperactive-impulsive, and combined.
✅ Common signs may include being easily distracted, forgetting things, restlessness, difficulty staying organized, interrupting others, or having trouble following instructions.

Living with ADHD can sometimes make school, work, relationships, and daily responsibilities more challenging. However, with the right support and treatment, people with ADHD can thrive.

Treatment options may include medication, counselling, lifestyle changes, education, and support from family, friends, and healthcare professionals. What works best can be different for everyone.

For more information, visit your community health clinic, or local healthcare provider. Getting the right diagnosis and support can make a big difference.
