Creative Youth Community Impact
About On and On | Singer and songwriter Jordan Meyer (an Enfield native) of Sound Haven Music and Music Therapist Renee Coro teamed up to provide a Youth Songwriting Course to Enfield youth through our Child, Youth and Family Services Division. Enfield youth Gracie Rose, Cameron Regnier, and Isabela Rodriguez- Gil wrote and recorded an original song from start to finish. The song, titled “On and On”, was inspired by their desire to create a song about perseverance in challenging times.

Back To School
Returning to school can be exciting and challenging for children and teens. During August, the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) will highlight resources on stress and anxiety, strategies for coping, and guidance about when to seek help from a health care provider.
Share these resources to help parents, teachers, caregivers, and students navigate this stressful time and focus on overall mental well-being.
