Help your teen stay sun safe!
Being outdoors and being active is an important aspect of our health and wellness. Ensure your teen is practicing sun safety when outdoors to reduce risks associated with UV rays’ exposure. Be a role model and encourage your teen to follow sun safety tips such as: covering up especially when UV index is 3 or higher, limit time in the sun especially between 11 am – 3 pm, use sunscreen, avoid using tanning equipment, and if sunny days are also hot and humid try to stay cool and hydrated to avoid heat illness.
