At Cohasset Common on Saturday, May 21, 2022, more than 20 Cohasset Youth Ambassadors rolled up their sleeves  to successfully host their 1st Annual Cohasset Minds Matter, a community event focused on de-stigmatizing mental health issues. 

A MASSIVE shoutout to Maeve Kearney and Sam Kearney for working with their peers to bring a brilliant idea of an event to fruition! 

With the sun shining through, Sally Meehan led a yoga group simultaneously to Kristen Dean leading meditation by the fountain, all while canine ambassadors from the Working Dog Foundation greeted the event’s attendees. As we always say, it takes a village to break down the walls of stigma and we are grateful to be a part of our village.
