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!
