Support Newton Cares and our Community

The Newton Cares Coalition was formed last year to bring greater awareness to mental health issues, to help prevent suicides in our community, and to find ways to support those who have been bereaved by suicide. Newton Cares is a community partnership that requires active and broad-based involvement. Join one of the four subcommittees – Postvention (the short-term response following a suicide), Youth, Adult, Advocacy – to brainstorm ideas and develop priorities for the next six months.

Accomplishments to date include the creation of a web-based mental health screening service offered by the City, a number of recently completed and upcoming suicide and mental health training programs, coping and support strategies, and programming for youth and adults. But more needs to be done.

What can you do to help?
Come to the next Newton Cares meeting:
October 23rd, 4:00 – 6:00 pm
Newton Senior Center, 345 Walnut Street

Interested, but can’t make it? Join our mailing list and visit the website to see what’s on the horizon.
