A reminder to please join me and other legislators tomorrow, October 11 from 12-1:30pm at Legislative Office Building Room 1D to help raise awareness within our Hispanic community about CT's Paid Family and Medical Leave Program as we celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month.
Our panel discussion will be hosted by the CT Paid Leave Authority & CT State Representatives of the Hispanic Community to speak on experiences with paid leave.
We will be highlighting the different reasons people can apply for CT Paid Leave, including:
Treatment for a serious health condition (with a focus on men’s health)
Mental health
Pregnancy/childbirth or bonding with a new child
Caring for a loved one with a serious illness
Family violence leave (CTPL is available for victims of family violence to seek medical or psychological care, get help from a victim services organization, participate in civil or criminal proceedings or relocate)
