When grownups struggle, so do children. If grownups can’t effectively process their experience and manage their emotions, what chance do children have? Our kids drink in our tensions. From the pandemic to Putin’s war and global warming, our kids are watching us.
We must do all we can to promote and protect children’s mental health. Aimee Berger-Girvalo has been a consistent, persistent and passionate voice to promote the healthy inner lives of our kids. Her leadership at the state level and here in Ridgefield has secured funding to increase mental health services and supports in schools and provide strategic, future-facing solutions aimed at addressing the emotional needs of the youngest and most vulnerable among us. Re-elect Aimee. Support solutions that heal and strengthen.
