Have you heard of the Period of PURPLE Crying program (PURPLE) before? It’s a way of talking to families about recognizing inconsolable infant crying. PURPLE crying typically starts around two weeks of age, peaks around 2 months, and lessens once the baby is between 3 to 5 months. This can be a frustrating and tough time for families to navigate. It's important to remind families to never shake or harm their baby. There are many helpful soothing and coping strategies families can try.

CLICK for babies is a public education campaign for the Period of PURPLE Crying program (PURPLE). It brings to our awareness the importance of never shaking or harming a child. Northern Health is grateful for the generous support from the Prevent Shaken Baby Syndrome BC team at BC Children’s Hospital for their donation of over 1250 purple caps. These caps, along with PURPLE education materials were distributed to families across Northern BC between January 1 to February 28, 2025.

🌟 It's Mental Health Week (May 5-11) in Canada! 🌟 This year's theme is "Unmasking Mental Health". Many people hide their true emotions and behaviors to fit in and avoid stigma, leading to increased stress, emotional exhaustion, and social isolation. By reducing stigma, we can create a supportive environment where everyone feels safe to share their struggles, take off their mask, and seek the care they need. If you need to talk about mental health or substance use, check out the programs, services, and contact numbers at Northern Health: www.northernhealth.ca/services/mental-health-substance-use Let's break the cycle together. 💙 #UnmaskingMentalHealth #MentalHealthWeek

The first phase of the acute care tower project in Prince George includes building a 471-stall parkade next to the BC Cancer Centre for the North. This addition is crucial to ensure we have enough parking for both staff and patients as the project progresses. The new parkade will significantly improve accessibility and convenience for everyone visiting UHNBC. To keep you in the loop, we've set up a construction camera on the parkade. You can catch live updates and watch the progress in real-time on our Let’s Talk site under the ‘highlights’ section at https://letstalk.northernhealth.ca/. It's a great way to stay connected and see the transformation as it happens!
