• Mansfield receives $250K grant for behavioral health response (tauntongazette.com) — Mansfield residents will soon see expanded mental health support when police respond to crises, thanks to a new $250,000 state grant that funds a second on-call clinician. The co-response program aims to de-escalate emergencies, reduce unnecessary arrests or ER visits, and connect people in Mansfield with ongoing treatment and support services, especially during high-need evening hours.
   

• Ed Sheeran's Gillette Stadium concert, train schedule adjusted (wcvb.com) — Mansfield riders heading to Ed Sheeran's Gillette Stadium shows now have updated MBTA concert train times, including a Saturday Providence line stop in town at 6 p.m. The concerts will both start at 8 p.m. with later parking and gate openings, after opening acts left the tour amid controversy over comments on Israel and Gaza.
