As a former carpenter, Dan Foley understands the importance of using the right tools- no matter the task. After struggling with anxiety, depression, and substance use for years, he began to make progress by reframing how he thought about recovery. Attending therapy sessions and recovery meetings wasn’t enough to change how he was feeling – he felt he had to spend time actively seeking tools that he could use to address his deeper issues. Dan, now in long-term sustained recovery and a proud father of two young boys, shares his story with the hope that it can inspire others to pursue the tools they need to manage their mental health successfully. #MensMentalHealthMonth #MensMentalHealth https://buff.ly/3Z8dtcj

Congratulations to our four Riverside School graduates! Riverside School in Needham and Milford are small schools (8 students each) for youth ages 13 – 18 with mental health challenges. The uplifting graduation ceremonies were attended by staff, families, and fellow students. As for the graduates … one is taking a gap year and plans to engage in volunteer work before settling on a college. Another student plans to attend MassBay in the Spring. One is entering the workforce while exploring options for college. And the final grad has joined the family business while also exploring options for college. We are so proud of all of you!
