It's too hot!
If this newsletter was forwarded to you, please sign up for your own here.
A few weeks ago, I wondered what happened to summer. Well, now we’ve skipped summer and landed straight into excessive heat, which isn’t the summer I had in mind. It has been brutal in the northeast. I decided to find new tips to keep cool, just to make sure I wasn’t missing anything. Something new popped up this week, just before I was going to publish this newsletter.
While it is important to keep the above tips in mind, let’s also learn the symptoms that could lead to sickness. This is a critical point for everyone, especially older adults. Become familiar with this site and stay safe.
The “Caregiving” documentary is officially streaming!
You might have heard about the Caregiving documentary produced by Bradley Cooper. I’ve mentioned it a few times in previous newsletters, and there have been a few private viewings through various PBS affiliates. The documentary is now available to stream whenever you like. Click below for the information. I plan on watching it soon, and would love to hear your thoughts.
Did you know about 211?
The United Way Worldwide supports the 211 helpline. This service “connects callers to local experts that can refer them to health and social service organizations” within their region across the US. But, sometimes caregivers aren’t eligible for the services recommended. Or, the resource shared isn’t local. However, the program is expanding. Please note, some states offer their own version of 211. For example, Mass Options is a free resource for Massachusetts residents. See if your state also has a version of this by visiting your State’s Health and Human Services website.

Take a look at this resource to learn about Brain Awareness Month.
On a personal note:
As of six years ago, June became a difficult month for me. My Mom died. Last year the difficulty increased as we lost our niece Sophia suddenly. I still look for her face during family gatherings. Eternal are their memories.
