✨ BNI Spotlight! ✨

At a recent Greater New Haven BNI meeting, we switched things up with a fun (and eye-opening!) activity—each of us picked a name out of a bag and had to recite someone else’s weekly sales pitch.

It was a great way to see just how well we truly listen and support one another week after week.

We were given Traveler on a Mission—and got to share Tanaya’s message:
“I’m the owner of Traveler on a Mission. We collect and provide hygiene products for adults, women, and children in need. We also host hygiene drives to gather essential items for our community. If you’re interested in hosting a hygiene drive, please reach out—I’d love to connect!”

And in a fun twist, Tanaya Henry ended up with In-Home Angels—what a coincidence!

🎉 In addition, we got to celebrate Tina Marie from Tina Marie Photography on her membership renewal—woohoo!

Moments like this are such a great reminder of the power of connection, consistency, and truly knowing the people in your network.

We recently had the pleasure of attending the Greater Milford Networking Group meeting, where we heard from Kelly de la Rocha, founder of poemRENOVATION—and it was truly inspiring.

Kelly shared how words can spark creativity, strengthen cognitive function, and foster meaningful connections through her award-winning word challenge. Designed for all ability levels, poemRENOVATION uses both digital tools and hands-on 3D word blocks to encourage expression in a fun and engaging way.

What stood out most was how impactful this activity has been for seniors living with dementia and individuals with cognitive disabilities—giving them a creative outlet to express themselves in ways that feel accessible and empowering.

We even had the chance to try it ourselves—and it was such a fun, energizing way to start the day!

A wonderful reminder that creativity has no limits, and that simple, thoughtful activities can make a meaningful difference in the lives of those we serve.

✨ Monday Motivation ✨

This week, we’re reflecting on the importance of working alongside people who not only challenge you—but also make you feel seen, valued, and confident in your purpose.

At In-Home Angels, that person for us is Tina Ullman from Vireo HR Advisory.

We’ve had the pleasure of working with Tina both individually and as a team, diving into the behind-the-scenes work that truly shapes who we are. Through tools like the Gallup assessment and other resources, she’s helped us better understand our strengths, how we work together, and how we can continue to grow.

Tina brings such a calm, grounded presence—creating space for everyone to feel heard, understood, and supported. She has a unique way of motivating others to step into their roles with clarity, confidence, and accountability—not just for themselves, but for each other.

We are so grateful for the guidance she’s provided as we continue to grow and strengthen our mission.

And as a bonus—we also got to celebrate her birthday! 🎉 A great day filled with both meaningful work and well-deserved celebration.

✨ BNI Spotlight: Greater New Haven ✨

Every Thursday, we attend our BNI lunch meeting at the Valley Diner, where we build meaningful relationships with local professionals we know, like, and trust—and support one another in growing our businesses.

we’re spotlighting two great presentations from a few weeks ago:

💻 Chris Cotto of Blue Ridge Systems shared an informative and timely 5-minute presentation on website and email safety—helping protect businesses from hackers and online threats.

⚖️ We also heard a deeper presentation from Dan Seiden of Unite Law. Dan gave us a look into both his professional work and personal life—sharing his role as a dad coach, his love for skiing, and his strong connection to Milford, where he was born and raised.

Professionally, Dan supports individuals and families navigating real estate—whether it’s seniors looking to sell or first-time homebuyers getting started. If you’re looking to understand what needs to be in place, Dan is a great resource.

✨ It’s that time of year again! ✨

On May 3, 2026, from morning through the afternoon, we’re coming together as a community to support an incredibly meaningful cause 💜

For our team at In-Home Angels, this is more than just an event—it’s something truly close to our hearts. We’re honored to be part of the Beverly Levy Walk-A-Thon, raising awareness and critical funding for gynecologic cancer research.

We’re so close to this year’s goal—over $300,000 raised toward $350,000! 🙌 Every step, every share, and every donation helps us get closer.

Our team is working to raise $500+ to support research, resources, and tools that make a real difference in prevention and care.

👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 This is a family-friendly event where “heroes” of all ages come together—walking side by side to support those impacted by cancer. Bring your kids, your friends, your loved ones—everyone is welcome!

We would love for you to join our team or consider making a donation to help us finish strong 💜

Together, we can bring hope, strength, and real change.

This is an incredible advancement in behavioral health care. 💙

At In-Home Angels, we see firsthand how important timely, compassionate support is—especially during moments of crisis. The ability for programs like the EmPATH Unit to stabilize patients quickly while reducing the need for hospitalization is truly impactful, not just for individuals, but for families as well.

Creating a more supportive, less traumatic experience during psychiatric emergencies is a huge step forward, and we’re grateful to see innovation like this happening right here in our community.

The Emergency Psychiatric Assessment, Treatment, and Healing (EmPATH) Unit at Griffin Hospital is the first in Connecticut and one of more than 30 across the country. Conceived by Dr. Scott Zeller in Alameda County, California in the early 2010s, the first EmPATH opened in Kentucky in July 2024. These pioneering units have reported significant success, routinely stabilizing 75% of patients experiencing psychiatric emergencies in less than 24 hours, reducing the need for hospitalization, and decreased crisis readmissions by 25%, all while eliminating many of the traumatic aspects of traditional emergency psychiatric care.

2,041,910 adolescents and young adults were diagnosed with cancer in 2025.

Not someday. Not later in life.
Right now—in the middle of building careers, relationships, and independence.

AYA cancer isn’t talked about enough, and too often, symptoms are overlooked or dismissed. By the time answers come, everything has already changed.

Behind every number is a life interrupted—
a plan paused—
a young person navigating something they never expected.

This is why awareness matters.
This is why early detection matters.
This is why support matters.

💛 Check in on someone
💛 Start the conversation
💛 Be part of the support system

Because no young adult should have to face cancer alone.

Happy Easter from all of us at In-Home Angels—including our guy Squish! 🌷🐣💛
May your day be filled with peace, love, and the simple moments that mean the most.

Reflection Friday 🤝

The “Conversation with the Valley Legislative Delegation” at the Brownson Country Club in Shelton, hosted by the Greater Valley Chamber of Commerce, was a truly impactful way to start last Friday morning.

Local business owners, employees, and community members came together for open, honest conversations about what’s really happening across the Valley and within our communities. It created a space where real concerns could be voiced, heard, and acknowledged.

A sincere thank you to our legislative delegation— Senator Jason Perillo, state Representative Arnold Jensen, State Representative Kara Rochelle, and State Representative Mary Welander—for being present, listening, and engaging in meaningful dialogue around the issues that matter most.

We also appreciate AT&T for sponsoring this important event and helping bring the community together.

What stood out most was the shared commitment to progress—working collaboratively to address concerns and explore solutions at both the local and state level.

It was a powerful reminder that change starts with conversation—and that when people come together with purpose, progress is possible.
