“The Bridge” Newsletter
Our newsletter, “The Bridge,” offers information about our local programs, courses, and community outreach activities as well as news of interest to our membership. We often include information about programs sponsored by other mental health support organizations in or near our affiliate towns. We publish the first Wednesday of each month, except in July and August. To inquire about submitting or collaborating on an article, contact us at nami.cmsx@gmail.com. To sign up to receive “The Bridge” via email, send us an email or use the form below.
We hope to expand our communication team and seek volunteers who might enjoy writing, building a library of graphics, sharing regional mental health news, or growing connections on Facebook and Instagram. We aim to rebalance our time and energy across our website, newsletter, and social media. Let’s chat about communication! Contact us at nami.cmsx@gmail.com to discuss the volunteer opportunities.
