During Saturday night's candlelight and prayer vigil for the victims of Friday's tragic shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School, Monroe First Selectman Steve Vavrek encouraged townspeople struggling to cope with the loss of 27 lives, including 20 children, to go to any of Monroe's churches for counseling.
Vavrek also encourages people to come to the Monroe Senior Center at 235 Cutlers Farm Road at 2 p.m. on Sunday, when Rebecca Ambrose, MA, LMFT from Marriage and Family Therapy in Monroe offers parents and teachers some insight on helping children to deal with the tragedy.
Social Services Dir. Barbara Yeager said two counselors said this guidance is timely as Monroe students will be going back to school on Monday morning.
