Senator Blumenthal Visits Klingberg
The Senator Tours Two Vital Programs
Sen. Richard Blumenthal visited Klingberg Family Centers to meet with Klingberg President Steve Girelli and tour several programs. The main purpose of his visit was to see the fine work we do, especially the Webster House, which relates to his interest in the interface between physical health and mental health. The Senator spent a great deal of time talking with the adolescent residents in the program and was very eagerly and warmly received by them.
The Senator also toured the Raymond Hill School where he spent a considerable amount of time focusing on the vocational programs, which help prepare our students for independence and for employment and ongoing contributions to society.
Klingberg has had multiple and productive meetings with members of Senator Blumenthal’s education staff and behavioral health staff in the DC office. Since he has assumed office, the Senator’s staffs, both here and in Washington, have been very interested in and supportive of the work we do.
The Senator indicated that he is interested in returning to Klingberg to spend more time and to visit our other programs.
