PARKLAND UPDATE

By Mayor Rich Walker

While South Florida comes with the luxury of beautiful weather year-round, summertime in South Florida is more enjoyable when we take precautions to prevent weather-related and seasonal accidents and injuries.

Here are some tips to keep in mind:

1. Stay Hydrated: As temperatures rise, it is important to drink plenty of water and other fluids. Dehydration can cause fatigue, dizziness, and other health problems. Make sure to carry water with you when you are out and about and encourage children to drink fluids regularly.

2. Protect Your Skin: Sunburns can be painful and increase the risk of skin cancer. Make sure to wear sunscreen with at least SPF 30 when you are outside and reapply it every two hours. Wear a hat and sunglasses to protect your face and eyes.

3. Stay Safe in the Water: Whether you are swimming in a pool or at the beach, it is important to follow water safety rules. Always swim with a buddy, and never leave children unattended near water. Make sure to follow posted signs and warnings.

4. Be Careful with Fireworks: Fireworks are a popular part of summer celebrations, but they can be dangerous if not handled properly. Make sure to follow all safety instructions and only use fireworks in designated areas.

5. Stay Cool: Heat exhaustion and heat stroke can be serious health problems. If you feel dizzy, nauseous, or have a headache, move to a cooler area and drink water. Avoid strenuous activity during the hottest part of the day.

By following these simple tips, we can all enjoy a safe and healthy summer season. I encourage everyone to stay vigilant and aware of potential hazards, and to take steps to prevent accidents and injuries.

Together, we can make sure that this summer is one to remember for all the right reasons. If you would like to share your thoughts or if you have questions or comments you would like to share, I would love to hear from you. I can be reached via e-mail at rwalker@ cityofparkland.org or via cell phone at (973) 390-1453. I am frequently available monthly at Parkland businesses and love to talk with residents there. I encourage you to visit the City’s website cityofparkland.org and click on the social media icon that you prefer, to ensure that you stay informed on events and helpful information.

Pet of the Month

SelfView™ is the fast , accurate, and confidential mental wellness assessment that you take privately.

Know Your Body. Know Your Mind.

By Alex van Putten

Mental health is an integral part of our overall well-being. It refers to our emotional, psychological, and social well-being and influences how we think, feel, and act. Good mental health allows us to lead a happy and fulfilling life, while poor mental health can harm our body, appearance, enjoyment of life, work, and relationships.

Here are some of the personality traits that are associated with good mental health: Positive self-esteem means that you have a positive self-image and high self-esteem. You feel confident about yourself and your abilities and can recognize your strengths and weaknesses.

Emotional resilience allows you to cope with life's challenges and bounce back from setbacks. You can regulate your emotions, manage stress effectively, and maintain a positive outlook.

Healthy relationships are part of your life that lead to healthy and fulfilling relationships with family, friends, and colleagues. You can communicate effectively, resolve conflicts, and maintain meaningful connections with others.

Productivity implies that you function effectively in your daily life. You can focus on tasks, make decisions, and be creative and innovative.

Enjoyment of life is associated with a sense of purpose and joy. You can engage in activities that you are fulfilling, pursue

your interests, hobbies, and sports, and feel satisfied with your achievements.

It’s important to note that mental health is not static; everyone has unique mental health needs. It’s common for people to underestimate the impact underlying mental health issues, such as anxiety, can have on their overall well-being. Sometimes, people may not even be aware that they are experiencing symptoms of anxiety, depression, or other mental health challenges holding them back.

Therefore it’s essential to get a mental health checkup regularly to know the level of your emotional health, just like you get a blood test to understand your physical health. SelfView is accurate and used in top medical centers to support research. We are making it available to you for the first time. SelfView tests 24 aspects of mental health using artificial intelligence to arrive at a diagnostic report in about 10 minutes. It is state of the art; you can take it at home, so know it is private and confidential.

If you are not living your best life, find out if something is holding you back. SelfView is available for only $20 using the coupon code OURCITY with the QR code on this page or by visiting www.bit.ly/3o92Esa.
