Do you have flu or Covid-19 symptoms?

As we head into viral respiratory illness season, we wanted to make Community Members aware that based on current guidelines, COVID-19 testing is no longer routinely required. Most people can safely take care of their symptoms at home.

If you are sick:
✅ Take rest, stay home, and allow yourself to recover
✅ Avoid close contact with people at higher risk of severe illness
✅ Wear a mask if you will be close to others
✅ Cover your coughs or sneezes with your elbow
✅ Wash your hands often

If your symptoms worsen or don’t improve, please visit your healthcare provider.

If you have any questions, contact Yúustway Health at:

As we near the end of ADHD (Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder) Awareness Month, Sḵwx̱wú7mesh Úxwumixw (Squamish Nation) is reminding its People about the support available for those living with ADHD, like Early Intervention Services offered through Ayás Mén̓men (Child & Family Services). This service helps Community access support if they or a loved one has ADHD or is looking to get diagnosed.

Another resource examining ADHD through an Indigenous lens is a webinar presented by the UBC Learning Circle where K'odi Taylor speaks on his living experience with ADHD - https://bit.ly/4Bozkim

Sḵwx̱wú7mesh Úxwumixw recognizes the gifts of neurodiversity and the unique ways those living with ADHD experience and engage with the world.
