"This October, Study Hall will be hosting Friday Night Game Nights specifically tailored for teens ages 13–18 who are capable of enjoying peer interaction, but who experience social hesitancy, anxiety, or find typical high-pressure social environments challenging.
The Game Nights will be facilitated by therapist Keith Murphey, LPC with the goal of providing a structured, supervised, and low-pressure environment where students can connect with peers, share pizza, play board games, and build social confidence at their own pace. "

As many of you know, Wednesday, June 24th will be my last day serving the Town of Westbrook through Social Services. This transition is truly bittersweet.

I want to sincerely thank the Westbrook community for welcoming me with open arms over the past two years. It has been an honor to serve this town, connect with so many incredible residents, and work alongside community partners who care deeply about supporting one another. I am incredibly grateful for the relationships built during my time here.

Please note that with this transition, there will be temporary changes to the Social Services office hours. Moving forward, the office will be open:

• Mondays: 9:00 AM – 4:00 PM
• Thursdays: 10:00 AM – 5:30 PM

We appreciate your patience and understanding during this time of transition. Thank you again for allowing me to be part of this community. Westbrook will always hold a special place in my heart.

With gratitude,
Veronica Aleman
