Celebrated annually on July 24, International Self-Care Day recognizes the important role self-care plays in helping people protect their health, manage minor ailments, and make informed decisions for themselves and their families.
This year’s theme, Self-Care at the Forefront of Prevention, highlights a simple but powerful message: self-care is prevention. When Canadians have access to trusted information, safe, and effective self-care options, and professional guidance when needed, they are better equipped to support their own health and help reduce pressure on the health care system.
