Check out this week’s Q&A!
Q: How do I balance staying safe and having fun in the summer?
A: Summer is full of celebrations: graduation parties, concerts, beach vacations, and more! These tips can help you mind your health and safety while enjoying these events:
Drink lots of water, apply sunscreen regularly, and leave the fireworks to the professionals. Some medications can affect how your body handles heat or sun, so be aware of any added risks.
When around water (pool, lake, ocean), have a designated Water Watcher. This sober, responsible adult supervises the people in and around the water—no phone or other distractions.
Be sure to know the exact address of where you are, so if you have to call 911, first responders can arrive as soon as possible.
