SUMMARY:Riverbend Reads: One Friday in April\, A Story of Suicide and Survival by Donald Antrim
DESCRIPTION:Riverbend is excited to be partnering with Gibson’s Bookstore to bring Donald Antrim and his book\, One Friday in April: A Story of Suicide and Survival\, to Gibson’s in Downtown Concord on Tuesday\, May 17th from 6:30pm – 7:30pm. \nThe New York Times describes One Friday in April as an “engrossing\, necessary book — part memoir\, part philosophical treatise — he argues that suicide is ‘a disease process\, not an act or a choice’. Those who suffer from mental illness and die by (or “of”) suicide do not take their own lives\, Antrim says\, but have their lives taken from them.” \nDonald Antrim is the author of three novels\, including Elect Mr. Robinson for a Better World\, and a memoir\, The Afterlife. He has received awards from the MacArthur Foundation and the National Endowment for the Arts\, among others. He lives in Brooklyn\, New York. \nThis event is free to the public. Purchase One Friday in April at www.gibsonsbookstore.com. \nVisit the Event page here

SUMMARY:This is My Brave New Hampshire 2021
DESCRIPTION:Join us on Thursday May 27\, 2021 for the FREE virtual premiere of This Is My Brave New Hampshire 2021.\n\n\nThis Is My Brave provides the leading national platform for individuals to share their stories of living successful lives despite a diagnosis of a mental health disorder through artistic expression.

This spring\, our storytellers are taking off their masks to share their mental health stories to shine a light on the hope that is recovery. \n\nWhile this event is free\, registration is required. When you register\, we hope you will consider a donation in support of our behavioral health educational programming to increase knowledge and reduce stigma. \nREGISTER NOW \n

She moved from Maryland to Concord five years ago for her 8th grade year\, which she spent at Shaker Road School\, before attending SPS.

One of her favorite parts of living in Concord is the consistently short line at the local Chipotle. In addition to writing the occasional Letter to the Editor\, she also dances ballet and enjoys studying the Humanities. Victoria is also the daughter of two Chinese immigrants.

SUMMARY:What IS "trauma-informed care?"
DESCRIPTION:Addressing the role of adversity\, oppression\, and stigma in caring for our community with Dr. Cassie Yackley\nNew Hampshire is working to build a system of care for children’s mental health that is youth and family driven\, community based\, culturally and linguistically competent\, and trauma informed. But what does “trauma-informed” mean? SAMHSA describes six core principles of a trauma-informed approach which include: safety\, trustworthiness and transparency\, peer support\, collaboration and mutuality\, empowerment\, voice and choice\, and cultural\, historical\, and gender issues. These principles are closely interwoven with the values identified in NH’s system of care for children. This live webinar session invites participants to learn how adopting a trauma-informed lens allows us to see how experiences of adversity and stigma can impact a child’s and family’s mental health wellbeing. Participants will learn how to take “trauma-responsive” action in their community by adopting practices aimed at promoting equity\, wellness\, and post-traumatic growth with people and systems impacted by violence\, adversity\, and systemic oppression. \nThis event is FREE\, but registration is required \nREGISTER NOW

SUMMARY:RAISING THE BAR: Mental Health Advocacy in the N.H. Legal System
DESCRIPTION:For decades\, states have required law students to answer questions about their mental health treatment before they can practice law.
