Westchester County Department of Community Mental Health to offer free workshop on Thursday, April 16
Westchester County residents are all coping with the impact of the Coronavirus (COVID-19). It is projected that the health crisis precipitated by COVID-19 could have a lasting impact on the mental health of the citizens of Westchester. The Department of Community Mental Health reminds our residents that public health emergencies, such as the coronavirus (COVID-19) can shake our sense of safety causing feelings of uncertainty and anxiety. Anxiety can be useful at times because it helps motivate self-preservation but can sometimes be overwhelming. There are several things you can do during these times to help reduce anxiety and find balance. There will be a free workshop on Mindful Work-Life balance & practical steps to integrate mindful moments and Guided Meditation for all residents on Thursday, April 16 beginning at 2:00pm.

Census Response Rate Breaks 51%!
We're tracking the Village's 2020 Census Response Rate and YOU CAN TOO! As of yesterday, April 12, the Village's Census Response Rate was 51.2%.
Let's keep the momentum going and thank you to everyone who has completed their Census Questionnaires!
Paper copies of the Census Questionnaires have started arriving in mailboxes for residents who have not responded yet.
The higher the response rate, the fewer households that census takers will need to contact.
