Self-Care Day

Self-care is a lifelong habit and culture. It is the practice of individuals looking after their own health based on the knowledge and information available to them. It is a decision-making process that empowers individuals to look after their own health efficiently and conveniently, in collaboration with health and social care professionals as needed. – Global Self-Care Federation

On July 24th, help us celebrate International Self-Care Day and the importance of self-care to the health of Canadians and to the health care system.
