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 3, 2014. The event will take place in
the War Memorial Auditorium at Newton City Hall from 1 to 3pm.
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 efforts to remove stigma. 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.
