Mayor Setti D. Warren and the Newton Cares Coalition for Suicide Prevention and Mental Health invite all community members to come together for an awareness event on May 3rd. The event will take place in the War Memorial Auditorium at Newton City Hall from 1:00 to 3:00 pm.

Newton Cares was launched in November 2013 and immediately began work to raise awareness and identify strategies to assist in creating a healthy, empowered community that promotes emotional wellbeing across the lifespan. Speakers will give an update on the community response to mental health needs and perspective on what it means to struggle with mental health issues. The event will also include education, advocacy and resource tables staffed by local organizations.

Join Mayor Setti D. Warren, Senator Cynthia Creem, and Representatives Ruth Balser, Kay Khan and John Lawn in this meaningful and important community event to support Newton’s efforts around suicide prevention and mental health awareness.
