23.01.2022 Falls can happen to us at any age; however, changes we go through as we get older can put us more at risk of having a fall. Every year, 1 in 3 Australians over the age of 65 will have a fall. Staying active is one of the best ways to prevent falls.

23.01.2022 School holidays are here so let's look at Screen Time. Screen time is the amount of time spent using a device such as a smartphone, computer, television, or video game console. The concept is under significant research, together with related concepts in digital media use in mental health. With the increased amount of technology in the home comes an increase of certain specific health effects due to the fact that the accumulated amount of daily screen time in children ages 8 t...o 18 grew from five hours to eight hours from 1996 to 2016. Some of the health effects that can be brought about with increased screen time are lack of sleep due to late bedtimes which leads the inability to sleep, daytime tiredness, trouble internalising and/or externalising problems. Some research suggests that the light from electronic screens can affect the circadian rhythm of children and disrupt alertness. These same studies found that for young children ages 37, the amount of sleep disturbances greatly increases after six hours of screen time, and for children 8-12 the amount of sleep disturbances greatly increased after the 10-hour mark. After four or six hours of daily screen time, sleep duration drops for adolescents.

20.01.2022 The body's initial response to a loss of fluid is to preserve the amount of fluid still in the body by conserving water. This leads to various symptoms of dehydration including thirst and dry mouth, decreased urine output, muscle cramps, headache, lightheadedness, sleepiness and a lack of tear production. Are you drinking enough water? https://www.facebook.com/HealthdirectAustralia/posts/1843844265772679

14.01.2022 The Child and Adolescent Mental Health Service (CAMHS) have recently commissioned the Emergency Telehealth Service (ETS). The ETS is designed to be used when a child <18 years presents with a mental health crisis. Rather than sending the young person to ED, patients can access an immediate telehealth consultation with a Mental Health Clinical Nurse Specialists or a Consultant Child and Adolescent Psychiatrist, who will conduct a risk assessment and provide a plan for the pati...ent and family, as well as make a follow up contact within 24 hours. To access this service, phone the CAMHS Urgent Mental Health Telephone Support Line 1800048636 which acts as the entry point. Further information here: www.cahs.health.wa.gov.au/CAMHS-ETS
