Our first field report in weeks finds us at Newtown's first-ever drive-up COVID-19 testing center. Check our chat with a PhysicianOne representative, the community's lead health official and First Selectman talking about testing and more.

Then we'll celebrate all the front line responders and kick off National EMS week with a small town EMS volunteer and a municipal fire official about how they work with dispatchers and medical professionals to save lives 24/7 and especially during the pandemic.

And we'll close with a medical expert representing Greenbrook TMS NeuroHealth Centers. We'll get a crash course on Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation / TMS and how it could help mitigate depression or anxiety as a result of the coronavirus emergency or other life challenges.

Early last winter we ran a segment that helped homeowners and excavation contractors get prepared for spring and all the planned outdoor projects involving excavation. Now that April and Call Before You Dig Month has arrived, we're replaying the segment to remind you about a new educational resource and certification program from Call Before You Dig that will help ensure any deep dig projects you are planning in the future at home or on the job - roll out safely.

Then we're tackling the difficult subject of youth suicide and prevention with a couple of expert sources from Connecticut Children's medical system talking about how the risk of suicide is increasing - shockingly among youths as young as 10-years-old. And we'll learn how this statewide healthcare network is doing groundbreaking work identifying suicide risk factors and saving lives as a result.

Today we continue our deeper dive showcasing how local agencies and human service programs are maintaining, surviving, and continuing to serve in a COVID-19 world.

First, we'll reach out to anyone who is feeling anxious, angry, sad, scared or alone during the current pandemic - to bring you an information packed and hopefully stress reducing conversation with the Executive Director of NAMI Connecticut.

Then we'll learn about a Connecticut company owner who created a not-for-profit program - masksforcitizens.com - to get masks to regular folks who need them while reducing the need to divert PPE away from medical workers and responders. 

And we'll close with the Connecticut Council on Environmental Quality. We'll hit a few high points of the CEQ's annual report to the Governor - aimed at keeping environmental preservation and protection efforts in focus even while he's dealing with the COVID-19 emergency.
