Have a Fun and Safe Summer 2021

As the heat rises across New Jersey, more and more people look to new and fun activities to keep them busy in summer. Some of us are finding new, great TV shows to watch while others have picked up a new hobby they have not done before. Yet, the first step to having fun is thinking of ways to stay safe. Let us talk about summer health safety tips and a Self-Care newsletter from the Connecticut Youth Advisory Board (CT YAB).

Read more on those health safety tips on 'Fun and Safe Summer 2021: COVID-19 Safety Guidelines' on the website, ConeHealth. These guidelines are for vaccinated and unvaccinated populations and common-sense safety measures against COVID-19.  Learn what to and what not to do to keep yourself safe. 

The Self-Care newsletter by CT YAB is an overall useful resource on self-care tips such as the "Areas of Wellness." The resource on the newsletter focuses on your current habits and habits to build on that relate to each Area of Wellness. This was featured in the SPAN youth chat and proved to be an effective tool to work on your habits.

How are you staying safe this summer? What are your current habits, and what are your habits to Build? Let us know in the comments below. Invite a friend and meet us virtually on the SPAN youth chat, Wednesdays from 3:00-3:30 PM.

Stronger Together: Finding Strength in Shared Journeys, featuring Growing Up Online

There’s something really special about talking to someone who has gone through the same things you have. They understand in a way that others might not, because they’ve lived it too. When people with similar life experiences support each other, it can make a big difference. It helps you feel less alone, gives you hope, and often brings helpful advice that comes from real experience. Whether it’s dealing with a disability, mental health, or big life changes, support from someone who “gets it” can truly change your life.
