Mending Milford Minds

Mental health resources to help you stay positive.

OUR MISSION is to educate the town of Milford, MA on the impacts of mental health and to provide the community with resources to fulfill the need to cope.

"My goal here is to help normalize that not feeling okay IS okay. It's important to me that everybody realizes that there is always someone to listen. The hardest step for many people is the aspect of reaching out, but once you make that initial act, everything starts to go up from there."

~Riley Walsh, 2022
