Death rates of Americans declined over the decades due to advances in healthcare and safety.

But, living in a society where mass shootings have become a regular occurance, childhood bereavement has become an increasingly important priority.

Here in Ohio, 1 in 10 children will experience the death of a parent or sibling by age 18.

Coming up on Wellness Wednesday, we’ll discuss how to address the issue of childhood bereavement.

Retirement is an exciting and often highly-anticipated life event, but it also means that the identity, community and routine of a long career are lost.

These changes can often result in poor mental health, with one study finding that nearly one in three retirees suffer from depression.

Incorporating workouts such as jogging or weight training into treatment can improve the likelihood of recovery for people struggling with addiction.

This news comes at a time when substance-use disorders and overdoses are on the rise.
