Veterans often face incredible challenges during their time of service, including exposure to trauma, continued stress, and the transition back to civilian life. It is common for veterans to experience mental health challenges like post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), depression, anxiety, trouble sleeping, substance use disorder, and suicidal ideation.

Reaching out for help can feel hard, but you are not alone.

-Contact the Veterans Crisis Line for 24/7, confidential crisis support for Veterans and their loved ones. Dial 988 then Press 1, chat online, or text 838255.

-You can reach out to Northborough HHS for resources and support at 508-393-5040 x4.

The Boroughs Wellness Hub is made up of a collection of community members dedicated to student success, health and well-being including Southborough Youth and Family Services, Northborough HHS, and ARHS Wellness Coach Ash. Our tabling at ARHS lunches this week focused on September being a reset month. We had some fun questions for students and staff to weigh in on. The overwhelming winners were Apple Picking over Pumpking Picking and Hoodies over Flannel. When asked about their planning style, it was a close call but being organized won out over figuring it out as you go. Some were on the line as it depended on what they were planning.

Each month we will be focusing on a health and wellness topic. Stay tuned to see what October brings!!
