SKIN CANCER PREVENTION

Yes, You DO Need Sunscreen Indoors

When I was a teen, it was considered an outrage to have pale skin after Memorial Day. Skin needed to be tanned, and tanned promptly, no matter the means required to do so. Teens would line up for hours, bored beyond measure, misting themselves with water, basting their pasty skins with baby oil or suntan lotion, waiting for a tiny hint of color to appear. Blisters? No problem! Burning? Hey, that was the price we paid for hours in the sun.

By age 70, 1 of every 5 Americans will have been diagnosed with skin cancer. More than 2 people will die of skin cancer every hour in the United States this year as they have in previous years.

BEHAVIORAL HEALTH

Social Media and Its Effect on Mental Health

Social media, for many of its users, provides a means of communication with family, friends, colleagues and other individuals and groups. For others, it offers a sense of community that they lack in their daily lives. This gives some individuals a means of connection and approval.
