The New Canaan Behavioral Health Alliance invites all residents to a special public forum to unveil the results of the Community Health & Well-Being Survey. This event will take place on Monday, January 27th, from 6:30 to 8:00 PM at the New Canaan Library, Bartlett Auditorium.
The survey, conducted in October 2024, received responses from over 1,490 residents sharing their insights on key issues impacting health, mental health, and well-being in New Canaan. The findings provide a significant snapshot of our community—its strengths, areas for improvement, and opportunities to enhance resources and services.

+Hear the Big Picture: Gain an exclusive first look at the survey results and the trends shaping health and well-being in New Canaan.
+Explore Key Findings: Learn about the community’s biggest challenges, including concerns around stress, access to care, and the role of prevention programs.
