School Health Survey: Montserrat’s Ministry of Health and Social Services is partnering with the Ministry of Education and PAHO to run the WHO Global School Health Survey among Secondary School students in October, updating the island’s 2008 snapshot and helping shape youth mental health and wellbeing planning. Cost-of-Living Coping: The Government of Montserrat is urging residents to “belt-tighten” as global prices and aid dependence limit relief, with Premier Reuben Meade pointing to rising costs for food, transport and building materials. Visceral Fat & Carbs: A new wellness piece argues that exercise alone may not shift visceral fat, and that the real focus should be on choosing, preparing and portioning carbohydrates rather than cutting them out completely. Endocrine Disruptors: The semFYC is calling for more preventive regulation around endocrine disruptors, warning that exposure timing matters most during fetal development, childhood and puberty. Health & Education Links: A reminder that participation in school health planning can directly influence what services get strengthened for young people. Local Sports (Dig Pink): Harbor High’s girls volleyball team stayed unbeaten with a five-set Dig Pink win over Aptos, with standout serving and defensive play—an uplifting community health moment tied to cancer support.
