Legislative Breakfast
Today I had the honor of bringing our message to The State House through the Department of Mental Health. I’m so grateful for this opportunity, and to have met many amazing people, survivors, and activists. A reminder that the work we’re doing to eradicate stigma is vital and our voices are needed. Thank you DMH!
Pegasus House, Daybreak Shelter
Had an amazing time working with the young women at Pegasus House in Lawrence! We had a lot of fun developing Reasons to Fly on kites!
We also discussed the pressure of stigma , and took great pride in working to make their labels ‘disappear’.Thank you to Robin, the staff and all the strong young people from Pegasus House!
Holbrook Library

Weekly Wednesday’s
Hi All! I know it’s been a while, but don’t worry, our work hasn’t stopped! Behind the scenes, has been traveling to Cohannet Academy: a JRI youth residential program in Taunton State Hospital. Today we had our 3rd Group and the youth did an activity highlighting values and why they matter to us!
