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

Esta semana no The Frame: os membros do Conselho Municipal ouvem mais detalhes sobre o novo Programa de Eletricidade Comunitária, os números de matrículas em escolas públicas locais sofrem uma ligeira queda e um mergulho na história do trio de edifícios significativos do Framingham History Center.
We continue our partnership with the Framingham History Center, as we look at certain aspects of local history during the 325th anniversary of the community’s incorporation. This month, we wanted to learn more about the three buildings that make up the History Center’s home base–the Edgell Memorial Library, Village Hall, and the Old Academy.
