Make a Difference With Messages of Hope

This Sunday, the IAM Strong Foundation, with Westwood Council on Aging, present an event to help teens struggling with mental health

On Sunday, February 28th at 1 PM, the IAM Strong Foundation, with the support of the Westwood Council on Aging, will host Messages of Hope. Drop by the Westwood Senior Center on Nahatan Street in Westwood between 1 and 3 PM and create a message of support for those who need it.

Write a note, draw a picture, or create a poem for teens who are struggling. The messages will be delivered to teens who are hospitalized, or shared online or in print. Drawing materials and note cards will be provided, and refreshments will be served.

The IAM Strong Foundation, which seeks to shatter the stigma of mental health struggles in adolescents, is proud to host this special opportunity to make a difference. Messages of Hope is open to everyone, of all ages. For more information about the IAM Strong Foundation, go to www.iamstrongfoundation.org.
