❗❗Attention New Canaan residents: your 5 minutes made a difference in 2024. Now let's find out what changed.❗❗

Swipe through to see what happened the last time New Canaan took the Community Health & Well-being Survey.

Two years ago, 1,490 residents answered. In response, the New Canaan Community Foundation awarded $33,275 in Survey Response Grants to six local organizations. That money funded workshops and mindfulness circles for parents, and free support groups for residents raising children while caring for aging parents. The Alliance also formed a standing work group to help residents find the help that already exists here.

One survey is a snapshot. Two let us see the trends.

One of the best things you can do for your breast health is to know what’s normal for you.

Take a moment to look at and feel your breasts regularly so you can recognize changes that may be new or unusual. If you notice something that concerns you, talk with your healthcare provider.

Remember: breast self-awareness is not a replacement for recommended breast cancer screening. Staying up to date with mammograms and talking with your healthcare provider about your individual risk are important parts of breast health.

Breast cancer can affect anyone, and many people diagnosed with breast cancer have no known family history of the disease. Knowing your personal risk, recognizing changes in your breasts, and talking with a healthcare provider about appropriate screening are important steps toward early detection.

This month, take a moment to:

🎀 Know the facts
🎀 Know your risk
🎀 Pay attention to changes in your breast health
🎀 Talk with your healthcare provider about screening

Last night, the New Canaan Health Department joined the New Canaan Parent Support Group and New Canaan CARES for the 10th Annual Vigil.

The evening brought our community together through stories of recovery, remembrance, hope, and healing. Thank you to everyone who continues to support individuals and families impacted by addiction and to help build a community where no one has to face it alone. 🧡
