Every spring, Southborough Youth & Family Services uses May to promote Mental Health Awareness. In advance, SYFS is reaching out to ask community members to help.
The agency is seeking ideas and calling for art.
In 2019, SYFS incorporated an art exhibit into its Mental Health Awareness Month activities. The exhibit invited the community to “Celebrate Wellness”.

The agency is planning hold another art exhibit as part of this year’s MHAM activities. The theme is “Leave the Light on”.
