Here we are again, amid a bustling winter holiday season in Connecticut and another new calendar year around the corner. As we look ahead to 2024, I would like to express my gratitude to all members and supporters of our Child Study Center community, working tirelessly throughout the year to improve the lives of children and families. The dedication of our faculty, staff, trainees, and associates is truly remarkable. A quick glance at the snapshot of work underway just this past month via the news and updates in this newsletter provides a clear picture of that dedication. This in the face of some very challenging times, to say the least – and I do hope that you will all have the opportunity for some respite over these next few weeks as the serenity of the season takes hold. Indeed, wishing you all joyful holidays and a healthy new year.
