For many of us, 2021 has been stressful. Ensuring the health and safety of ourselves and our families can certainly take a toll on our physical and mental well-being.
The Norwalk Partnership is offering 3 free online presentations in January to help us refocus, learn how our community is doing, and learn how to help ourselves and our loved ones in the new year! Please visit https://www.thenorwalkpartnership.org/news to RSVP for the Zoom--and be sure to share with your friends!
