Last update: 7 hours agoYouth Mental Health Online Safety: Bermuda’s Ministry of Health has launched #ChatSafe Bermuda with Bermuda College and Orygen to help young people, families, and educators communicate more safely online about suicide, self-harm, and mental health, with school workshops and assemblies planned from November 2026.

Cancer Care Focus: A local health column highlights prostate cancer as the leading cancer affecting men in Bermuda, urging awareness and screening as the population ages.

Healthy Ageing & Caregiving: A feature calls out the mental health struggles of older adults—especially when families juggle caregiving, work, and their own wellbeing—urging proper assessment rather than treating distress as “normal ageing.” Marine Health & Research: BIOS reports ongoing ocean research in Bermudian waters, including testing a new deep-sea underwater vehicle, as Bermuda marks World Ocean Day.
