Let's clear up a common water safety myth.

You've probably heard the term "dry drowning." But what does it actually mean, and what should parents watch for after a child has been in the water?

Family Nurse Practitioner Lindsay Comte breaks down what parents need to know, including the signs that could indicate a child is having trouble after a water-related incident and when medical attention is needed.

Watch the video for an important conversation about water safety—and remember, if a child has significant difficulty breathing or isn't acting normally after being in the water, seek medical care.

Loss is shocking and you have the right to experience your own unique grief. Living with grief can be distressing and leave you feeling depleted.

For more information or to register for our Bereavement Support Group, please contact Livingston HealthCare's Rebecca Sulages, LCSW at 406.823.6888.
