Happy December, everyone.
I hope everyone enjoyed their Thanksgiving last week. It’s hard to believe that December is already here; this year has absolutely flown by. With the holidays fast approaching, lights have been going up all over town, stores have been redecorating, and holiday spirit is evident! Just this past weekend, I attended the city of Westfield’s tree lighting ceremony with my family right here in the center of town, and am looking forward to many more holiday events throughout our communities.
Even as we close out the year, we’re keeping a full schedule here in the Legislature. Monday morning, I attended a virtual meeting with representatives from Strongest Families Institute. This organization provides people of all ages with mental health services where and when they should need it. Access to mental health treatment is one of the pressing issues of our time and the good work done by this group is going a long way to equalizing access. Thank you to SFI for taking the time to speak with me and my staff.
