As kids and teens head back to school, they may face new social situations and peer pressure. One of the best ways to help them navigate these moments is to start the conversation early.

Here are a few ways to prepare your child:
🚗 Have a plan. Let them know they can always call or text if they need a safe ride home.
💙 Build confidence. Remind them that it's okay to walk away from situations that don't feel right.
👂 Keep the conversation going. One talk isn't enough. Regular, judgment-free check-ins help build trust.

This International Youth Day, let's support young people by giving them the confidence and tools to make healthy choices at school, with friends and beyond.

The Screen Test Mobile Mammography Clinic will be at the Hardisty Health Centre on August 6 and 7, 2026.

Screen Test brings breast cancer screening to communities across Alberta using its state-of-the-art mobile mammography unit. Screening mammograms can detect changes that are too small to be felt, before symptoms appear and when treatment may be more effective.

Who should be screened?

➡ Women ages 45 to 74 are encouraged to have a mammogram every two years. No referral is needed.

➡ Women ages 75 and older may continue screening and are encouraged to speak with their healthcare provider.
