HEALTH OBSERVANCES

American Heart Month

Did you know that people who have close relationships at home, work, or in their community tend to be healthier and live longer? One reason, according to the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI), is that we’re more successful at meeting our health goals when we work on them with others.

One in three teens in the United States will experience physical, sexual, or emotional abuse by someone they are in a relationship with before they become adults.
