Thank you!

Happy Westborough Kindness Week!

Thank you for attending the April 3rd presentation by Lynn Lyons.

Nearly 240 people gathered to hear Lynn provide helpful information and insights about anxiety in children and families. Using her skills-based approach, and a refreshing dose of humor, Lynn all offered practical tips for parents, educators, childcare providers, therapists and children.

The evening was another example of the wonderful strength that comes from our community joining together to bring programs and events that are relevant and meaningful. The partnership between Westborough Connects and Westborough Youth & Family Services, along with the support from our financial sponsors, Westborough Public Schools and our volunteers, made the night a great success!

We look forward to future programming that is strengths-based and focused on the needs of our community members.

Thank you.
