The holiday season is often a time of remembrance, and sometimes grief for many people. If you or your family would be interested in any grief support groups or related services, the YMCA and Hosparus are offering ongoing classes over the course of the next few months. You can access information for the YMCA class here, and the Hosparus groups here. Both groups are free to those who wish to participate.
In addition, we are holding a Mental Health Fair on 12/6 here at Brown. Many different mental health organizations, as well as ones related to mental health will be in attendance. Parents and Alumni are welcome to attend starting at 12:30 on the day of the Fair. Every grade will be able to attend and participate.
