August 23, 2023It is no secret the pandemic has had a lasting negative effect on our children. As a result, the state is providing more than $4.5 million in summer mental health grants for schools and camps over a three-year period.
Several organizations in Waterbury will receive a total of $351,378. Our students deserve year-round support, and this critical funding will help address their social and emotional needs in the summer months.
Here is a closer look at the funding:
