What to Know & Where to Go in & around New Canaan

Several things that could make your week and your life beyond this week more interesting:

The Brooks Brothers Fashion Show & Luncheon takes place at 12:15 p.m. Tuesday at the Darien Community Association. "Darien Store Manager Annie Sullivan -- mistress of ceremonies for the event -- will also share a shortlist of this year’s hottest trends, tips on dressing for your shape, and special giveaways. Luncheon will be provided by Carolyn’s Absolutely Fabulous Events." -- from an event listing on Darien Patch

The documentary, Justice Is A Black Woman: The Life And Work Of Constance Baker Motley will be shown at 7:30 p.m. Tuesday at the Avon Theatre in Stamford. The movie chronicles the life and work of Motley, "an 'unsung' hero of the civil rights movement. [...] Motley, the only woman attorney at the NAACP Legal Defense And Educational Fund (LDF) during most of the civil rights movement from 1946 to 1964, was the LDF attorney who tried and won most of the important desegregation cases." -- from an event listing on Stamford Patch

"When you are feeling down, it may seem like you are alone in your misery. The reality is, depressive disorders affect approximately 18.8 million American adults. However, due to stigma and other factors, fewer than half of those suffering actually seek help," according to the Screening for Mental Health website. Here are several spots where you can get a free, confidential mental health screening on Thursday, National Depression Screening Day (of course there's a national day for that): Darien Library noon to 2 p.m.; Norwalk Senior Center, 11 Allen Rd., 9 a.m. to 2 p.m.; Wilton Senior Center, 180 School Rd., 11 to noon. Dial 2-1-1 or visit www.HealthyMindsCT.org for details.
