Trauma can manifest physically, emotionally, mentally and spiritually – yet many women experience their trauma in isolation or are unsure how to begin their healing journey. There are several sites globally that recognize this.

In the United States, July is designated as National French-American Heritage Month and was established to honor the significant contributions made to the country by people of French descent. Currently, approximately 11.8 million Americans of French or French Canadian descent live and work in the United States, with about 2 million of those speaking French at home. Our very own Dr. Bigelow is fluent in French!

IT”S HOTTT! Be sure to protect your skin from the sun! This month is UV Awareness Month. Dermatologists aim to raise awareness on skin protection and prevention of skin cancers. U.V. Safety Month is held during summer when most of us spend more time outside making the most of the warmer weather. The longer your exposure, however, the greater your risk of sun damage if you’re unprotected. The sun emits radiation in the form of Ultraviolet or U.V. light, which is classified into three types: U.V.A., U.V.B., and U.V.C. The ozone layer protects the Earth’s stratosphere and blocks the most damaging U.V.C. light, but U.V.B. and U.V.A. light pass through it. U.V.C. radiation can come from artificial sources such as sunlamps or tanning beds.
