Dear Friends, Neighbors, and Colleagues,

Happy Bastille Day to the French in CT. Bastille Day is the National Day of France, commemorating the storming of the Bastille during the French Revolution, which signaled the first victory against the Old Regime. Today, Bastille Day is celebrated with meticulous spectacle with a traditional military parade on the Champs-Elysees and festivities all across the country.

Did you know that France is one of Connecticut's top export partners? In 2018, our state exported $3.2 billion in good to France, representing 18% of Connecticut's total goods exports.
 
July is Minority Mental Health Month
Below is a brief message from the Hub:

July is Minority Mental Health Awareness Month

Mental health conditions do not discriminate. They can affect anyone regardless of race, color, gender or identity. However, access to quality mental health care is not equal. Minorities have poorer mental health outcomes due to stigma and lack of access to mental health services. Below are a variety of resources to help everyone find the help they deserve. 

Supporting diverse communities - AFSP

Minority Mental Health Awareness Month in July is recognized nationwide to bring understanding of the mental health needs and experiences within BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, and People of Color) communities, and others who face disproportionate inequities in care, support or mental health services in this country.
