May is mental health awareness month. The United Way of Tri-County- which provides critical mental health services like Call 2 Talk- a 24 hour, 365 days a week crisis line- recently hosted a Hope Blooms event at their community garden downtown. Hope Blooms brought together mental health organizations and services from all over the community to inform and support residents- including a little help from our four legged friends! The Pets and People Foundation- a nonprofit which specializes in animal therapy- was there to melt away anxiety and other stressors with lots of love and cuddles! The Frame’s Mackenzie Wright spoke to Pet’s and People’s Event Coordinator Serena Keating, to learn more about how pets can help us navigate our mental health. Pets and People has about 100 teams, but they are in desperate need for more to accommodate the many event requests they receive daily. If you’re interested in getting involved you can visit their website at petsandpeoplefoundation.org

The Framingham History Center recently hosted its annual haunted trolley tour. We were able to get a special look ourselves along the tour, as we learned about Framingham’s ghost history and the community’s connection to Halloween as we now know it.
Esta semana no The Frame: as obras de reforma do novo centro comunitário local continuam enquanto os moradores fornecem feedback e ideias por meio de uma pesquisa; candidatos locais participam de um fórum de discussão sobre sustentabilidade e meio ambiente; e uma análise do passeio anual de bonde assombrado do Centro Histórico de Framingham — além da conexão da comunidade com o Halloween como o conhecemos hoje.
