Men can achieve better mental health by getting in touch with their emotions.
Your Health
Pet alert
It’s easy to see why pets are so popular. From cats and dogs to birds and fish, these little companions provide us with emotional, social and health benefits that enrich our lives. However, pets can also carry germs that may be passed on to their owners, usually by direct or indirect contact with the bodily fluids (saliva, urine, feces) of the animal.
Sweet solution
New legislation would restrict the marketing of sugar-laden drinks and foods to kids.
Cold sores
Lesions, ulcers, blisters, sores. Whatever you want to call them, it goes without saying that no parent wants to see one on their child’s mouth.
Waste not
The most effective way to reduce food waste at home – and save money – is to plan your meals and food purchases. Buy just what you need, and use everything you buy.
Take a course to improve your health
Starting in January, the WRHA’s Health Management Group is offering courses in a number of areas, including health education, chronic disease management and rehabilitation. Each course is designed to provide participants with the knowledge and skills they need to better deal with specific health issues that affect thousands of Manitobans.

Understanding the teenage mind
Kids between the ages of 13 and 19 must deal with all sorts of changes and transitions, both physical and societal. Their hormones are raging, their brains are evolving, and their bodies are changing. Add to that the complex social pressures they must navigate, including the peer pressure to use alcohol and drugs or have sex.
Push pause
For years now, health experts have been warning that many children are spending too much time in front of a computer, video game, mobile device or television screen. The result, they say, is that many kids are not getting the exercise they need to maintain good physical health. But, as it turns out, that may not be the only damage being done.
Workplace stress
Do you have a tough time making it through your workday? Perhaps you are at your desk right now and trying to decide which task to tackle first: your backlogged e-mails, mounting paperwork, or projects with competing deadlines? Perhaps your workplace feels like a difficult place to be.
