DO YOU HAVE A FAMILY DENTIST THAT YOU SEE REGULARLY? Did you know that many of our community members have difficulties trying to get another Dentist after their dentist has retired or after a family moves. It is important to have a family dentist in the event of a dental emergency. Usually dentists block time daily for emergency dental services. Where as the dental services at Huli’tun only operates twice a month on Monday’s only.

The Cowichan District Hospital offers Emergency Dental services but the requirement is that you had to have seen your dentist within that week and you are required to schedule dental booking.

If you are in pain and have a bit of a wait for your dental appointment you are encouraged to see your family doctor or go to the walk in clinic for pain medication if needed or antibiotics if needed.

Here is a list of Dental Clinic taking in new clients

Dental Services has started up last month with Dr. George and his assistant Tai Deacon.

Do you have discomfort with Dental services? Do you have a fear of Dental work? Do you need more time with Dental Services to ask questions?

Did you know that being more preventative and having a check up with your Dentist at least once a year could eliminate extensive dental work by being more proactive. Regular visits/check-ups allows for the Dental team to catch dental work much sooner, also allows for updated dental x-rays and more time for consultation. Dr. George provides routine procedures such as tooth extractions (or referral), preparing and placing fillings, crowns or dental procedures to reduce the risks of complications such as infection, temporary or even permanent nerve damage, prolonged bleeding, hematomas and pain.

We have several community members that utilize services from Dr. George and value the care and attention he provides.

To book your appointment call our Medical Office Assistant (Cory) at 250-246-2127 All cancellations require at least 1 business day notice in advance.

S’ULHWEEN (ELDER) EMPOWERED

DO YOU OR SOMEONE YOU KNOW HAVE DIABETES? Several factors contribute to a person's risk of developing diabetes. Scientists do not know exactly what causes type 1 diabetes, but they believe that both genetic factors and exposure to viruses are involved.

There are many risk factors that contribute to developing type 2 diabetes which include: Being overweight or obese; pre-diabetes, advanced age, physical inactivity, having high blood pressure and/or high cholesterol, having a family history of diabetes, belonging to certain high-risk ethnic populations (e.g. Aboriginal, African, Hispanic, Asian), having a history of gestational diabetes, and having other conditions which may include vascular disease, polycycstic ovary syndrome, acanthosis nigricans and schizophrenia.

Highlights of previous classes: Our members who have been attending reported learning useful information on how to manage symp-toms, food and beverage information and have enjoyed the meals and learning simple, healthy diet changes that can have positive impacts on sugar levels.

The next meeting will be on September 10, 2019, 5:00pm-7:00pm If you would like to attend, have any questions or would like more information or need transportation then please contact

Shelley, Christine or Gwen at 250-246-2127.

The wool weaving program has come to an end and Huli’tun would like to give a big

thank you to Rose August and Barb Jimmy who facilitated the program and shared

their skills and knowledge with our members. The ladies all did a great job, some even

moving on to bigger more complex projects that they will be completing from home. I

am so very proud of you all and the projects that you have been working on during the

last 10 weeks and cant wait to see future projects! I have gained so much from you all

and our time spent together, sharing, learning, and creating, I look forward to new

opportunities to come together in this way in the near future, Christine.

Our Wool Weaving Looms are for sale! If you would like to purchase one then please

come to the office, they are $40 and must be paid for before taking them home.

Out Door activity is important and we would like to support our community with a Walking Group. You can walk at your own pace and in the comfort of support by HHS staff.

Recognizing International Overdose Awareness Day on August 31, 2019 Huli’tun has opened up training to the community and staff to take Naloxone Training. Here are some of the photos of Staff during the training.

(Each trained staff received their own Naloxone kit)

Naloxone Training for September HHS is hosting Naloxone Training for staff and Community Members. Naloxone is a medication that can reverse the effects of an overdose from opioid drugs such as fentanyl, morphine, and heroin. On June 1, 2016 the First Nations Health Benefits (FNHB) added naloxone as an open benefit on its drug benefit list. It is important to have all our staff and as many Community Members trained in the use of Naloxone as possible, this can save the life of a loved one! This training will take a little over an hour to complete, we hope to see you all there. Date: September 19, 2019 Time: 1:00pm Location: Huli’tun Health Society

If you have any questions or would like to attend please call our Nurse Shelley or our

Community Health Representative Christine at 250-246-2127.

Huli’tun Health Society has been providing Breakfast 2 Go to our communities for going on 4 years. There has been so much success with the program.

Originally when the program started parents were excited because that meant more time for their children to get ready for school, teachers were happier because the children had nutritious breakfasts which meant more energy and more focus. Children in the program love the Breakfast 2 Go Program.

This program is delivered during the days the children have school (Monday-Friday) and is delivered to the bus stops in the morning. Each Breakfast includes foods from at least 3 healthy food categories. The menu is always on a rotation to keep our children we serve interested in the foods they receive . If you have any questions regarding the food that are being delivered please don’t hesitate to contact our cook Bernie at 250-246-2127.

If you would like your child (children) to be registered in this Breakfast program, please fill this form out, sign and return as soon as possible or pick up a form at the office. All information is confidential, we need to know allergies for your child/children's safety and a contact

number for parents if there are any changes to the program.

If your child /children has any food allergies or should not eat certain foods

please check them off (√)

CHILD AND YOUTH OF OUR NATIONS

July 3rd – August 22nd 9am – 1pm Mondays – Thursdays The focus of this year’s summer camp was to provide a balance of spiritual, emotional, intellectual, and physical support and development. The aim for each day was to capture a theme that included “Fun, Creativity, Cultural, or Educational.” Wonderful guest presenters promoted community connection and involvement in the children’s learning. We would like to thank all of our wonderful guest presenters who provided the children with inspiration, wonder, and creativity! Thank you to all the dedicated children and families who supported the camp (at least 30 children attended per day) and for their help organizing our outings to the Duncan Aquatic Centre, Kin Park, Hope and Health, and the Royal Victoria Museum. For any comments or questions about the camp we would love to hear from you. We are planning for Summer Camp 2020 and all feedback and suggestions are very helpful. Please contact Thomas George or Joe Norris at the main office: 250.246.2127

A big Thank you to Bob Blacker, his Rotary club and “Creative Embroidery” who donated funds and expertise to make the camp t-shirts!! Congratulations to Tenesha and Ashton who won the Logo contest.

Hope and Health day was a memorable day with the Whitecap

Players & participating in soccer skills, drills, and games!

Shannon was inspirational in sharing her career and the incredible strength and responsibility it takes to drive a logging truck!

Children created their own First Nations art with Gus

Thanks Bernie for all the fantastic hot lunches!

Thank you Camp Leaders (Jade, Chelsea, Thomas, Kelly, Joe, and Sam (who was away for the photo!)

What a great way to end summer camp: A trip to the Royal

Counselling can be helpful for children in many ways. Through a holistic approach that often includes play and art, children can feel comfortable, calm, and supported. Counselling can help with a variety of issues such as loss, anxiety, trauma, and challenges at school and within family. Building resilience, self-esteem, exploring strengths, culture, and learning practical skills for example, are just some ways children can benefit.

Counselling can be conducted one on one with a child, in a group, or can include the family. Sessions can take place at HHS, in a school, or in a home setting and will depend on what is preferred by the child and their family.

Please call Kelly with questions or to book an appointment: 250-252-4917

Hi All, I would like to thank all the people from the Halalt and Lyackson communities for just being you. I had the opportunity to be part of the Family Wellness Day hosted by Huli’tun Health Society and I must say that it was an event that brought happiness to me. Seeing community members sitting and visiting, children playing and having fun and crying. The tears didn’t last long as they soon giving way to more exciting things like bouncy castles, an obstacle course and generally just being children. It was nice to see people excited to get a haircut, having their nails done and the family photo or just sitting and sharing stories with one another. I suppose it was families just being families like the good old days I have heard. We live in a time where technology has seemed to take over the family bonding time, the time of technology seems to have occupied the individual and visiting with family and elders has taken a backseat to human bonding. Human bonding is a something we all need to some degree to grow as human beings. A few years back I was asked by my late friend Michael Dick from Kingcome Inlet (Dzawada’enuxw) who was about to give his experience of his time at St. Michael’s Indian Residential to Chief Justice Murray Sinclair. He said he can talk about negative things that happened but he will choose not because you hear many other stories of that. Michael said he wanted to talk about the lack of bonding that occurred for him and the impact it had on him. He has not able to bond with his mother and father, his brothers and sisters, his cousins, auntie and uncles and the elders from the community. He said it was the bonding that he needed to nourish is spirit to be a strong person. After about an hour of him sharing stories his message of human bonding made sense to me as it indicated that human bonding is import to the individual spirit of the person. I saw a lot of that on August 17 in the gym and on the field of Halalt Reserve and it reminded of my late friends words and it had me happy. I also saw people looking at the information booths from First Nation’s Health Authority (FNHA), British Columbia Aboriginal Network on Disability Society (BCANDS) and Huli’tun Health Mental Health and Medical Teams booth and the other booths available for the participants to view.

I suppose I can continue write about myself and my role here at Huli’tun Health Society as a community wellness worker who supports community from being a community advocate to supporting folks who need helps with addictions to need help in filling out applications to treatment or to sit with some who may just need an ear to listen to them or I can put it out to community and keeping in mind and honoring my late friends message of with the spirit of human bond for growth that I can ask you as community members, would you like to have a community gathering to share our roles at HHS? If yes you can call the office and inform front desk that you would like to gather. I would like to share one more thing before I sign-off. On August 31 it is recognized as International Overdose Awareness Day. I would like to share some information with the communities. Also, there are some pins that I will leave at the front desk; the pins are silver ribbons and what they signify is the following “Wear this symbol of awareness of overdose and its effects to signify the loss of someone cherished; or demonstrate support to those undergoing grief. Share the message that every person’s life is valuable and that stigmatizing people who use drugs needs to stop” There are only about 30 or so pins but I can order more if I need more. I would like to thank you for being you and thank you for take the time to listening to me by way of this note. Kind Regards, Willie Sinclair, Community Wellness Worker.

What is Shingles? Shingles (the common name for herpes zoster) is a painful blistering rash caused by a re-activation of the varicella-zoster virus. After you've had chickenpox, the virus lies inactive in nerve tissue near your spinal cord and brain. Years later, the virus may reactivate as shingles.

Shingles are more likely to cause complications and long term effects in older people. The 65 to 69 year-old age group was selected for the benefit coverage because the vaccine has a high impact on this age group. People in this age group are more likely to get shingles and to have higher rates of hospitalization from it. The pain of shingles can persist for weeks, months, or even longer after the rash has healed.

If you need support with applying for the vaccine or have questions please contact our Nurse Shelley at 250-246-2127 or by email [email protected]
