📰 News we're reading

• BHcare Kicks Off Mental Health Awareness Month With Conference, Proclamations & Community Wellness Fair (patch.com) — North Branford residents and leaders gathered at BHcare’s Branford Road location to launch Mental Health Awareness Month with proclamations, personal stories, and a community wellness fair. Local and state officials highlighted expanded mental health resources for shoreline families, including school-based supports and the Parent Child Resource Center’s growth, emphasizing that help is available close to home.    

• State tire recycling effort faces 'disappointing' setback (theday.com) — North Branford residents are represented directly in the debate over Connecticut’s new tire recycling program, as local Rep. Vincent Candelora weighed business concerns before backing a key bill. That measure, which would have required tire retailers statewide to join the free drop-off program by 2027, died in the Senate after Republican objections, leaving expansion to more towns and retailers uncertain for now.
