For the People

Today we'll open up talking about education and the arts as we meet the leader of Arts for Learning CT, which is working hard to inspire young people and expand their learning through the arts. Find out how their affiliated artists and supporters are developing strategic partnerships to reach shared goals for young people and our state.

Then, the next segment of our Pride Month In Focus series will introduce the leader of Hartford Healthcare's Center for Gender Health at the Institute for Living. We'll hear how the small but mighty team at the Center is working with patients, their families and communities to deliver comprehensive, compassionate healthcare services for gender-diverse individuals of all ages.

And we'll close replaying a segment from earlier this year with Make-A-Wish of Connecticut. Make-A-Wish is still working with dozens of qualified families and local children in an attempt to grant their wishes. We think you'll be pleasantly surprised at how easy it is for you to become a "Wish Maker," so stay tuned and learn how to get involved.

We're continuing our Pride Month In Focus series welcoming back Greater Bridgeport Pride to celebrate their 15th Anniversary, to chat about the Pride Month activities still to come in and around the Park City this June, and how this organization is growing and adapting to the needs of the LGBTQ+ community across the region.

We're bringing in a representative from AAA Northeast and covering a lot of ground as we discuss the 100 Deadliest Days, pedestrian / motorcyclist / bicyclist safety, hot car dangers, and the dangers of inferior fake car safety seats.

Our Father's Day program is focusing on playing it safe and protecting yourself and your family from harm all summer long starting off with the Red Cross to brief us on the latest hurricane and storm season outlook, preparedness tips, and opportunities for you to give back as a disaster volunteer - or even more critically - as a blood or platelet donor.

On the first full weekend of Pride Month, we welcomed back a leader and co-founder from Westport Pride to outline a full schedule of events and celebrations welcoming all members of Connecticut's LGBTQ+ communities and all their allies, friends, and loved ones.

For the People continues promoting groundbreaking news in the Naugatuck Valley as we host the second of two representatives from Griffin Hospital to talk about their innovative EmPATH behavioral health unit and why it is designed to provide more effective, compassionate care for individuals who come to the ER experiencing a mental health crisis.

During Medicare Fraud Prevention Week, we brought you a well-versed expert from the Western CT Area Agency on Aging's Senior Medicare Patrol to frame out why folks on Medicare need to be uniquely prepared - not for if - but for when bad actors call or reach out with  convincing and unfortunately successful means of ripping you off, and how you can protect yourself.
