Downtown Fairfield Tree Lighting
Thank you to those who came out and volunteered with The Matt Garcia Foundation during the Downtown Fairfield Tree Lightning event in December. It was a wonderful night to see all the families come out and enjoy themselves. We couldn’t have done it without your help. We were able to bring smiles to all the families that came to our booth for hot chocolate, cotton candy and popcorn. It was also nice having the Photo Booth and rock painting in our downtown office. 2024 is going to be another successful year as we continue working together to improve Fairfield and support our youth.

Is it normal to talk to yourself?
Dig into the psychological benefits of positive self-talk, and find out when it can become problematic.
--
Being caught talking to yourself can feel embarrassing, and some people even stigmatize this behavior as a sign of mental instability. But decades of research show that talking to yourself is completely normal; most if not all of us engage in some form of self-talk every day. So why do we talk to ourselves? And does what we say matter? Dig into the psychological benefits of positive self-talk.
