Building healthy relationships starts with the right foundation. 💙

We’re so excited our inaugural workshop went so well a few weeks ago that we will continue partnering with Find Love Safely to offer a monthly educational workshop focused on friendship, communication, dating basics, and healthy relationships — with safety, consent, and boundaries built into every session. The workshop will take place the first Tuesday of every month.

Live virtual sessions are led by Founder & CEO Katherine Gyolai and include interactive skill-building and caregiver resources. This is educational and skill-based (not therapy).

Learn more by emailing FamilySupport@vinfen.org.

Some of our Restoration Center of Greater Lowell nurses spent time in the community recently at the Lowell Community Justice Support Center. Support Centers provide services and support to people in the community instead of jail or prison. We look forward to the Restoration Center of Greater Lowell, opening in April, becoming another resource to offer an alternative to emergency rooms and incarceration for individuals experiencing behavioral health crises.

🩺 We still have some nursing roles open to join our new Restoration Center team.

Vinfen recently partnered with Cambridge Savings Bank to present From Burnout to Balance: Recognizing Stress Before It Takes Over, a thoughtful lunchtime program focused on mental health and resilience in the workplace.

The session featured a fireside chat moderated by Vinfen’s David Brown, with Director of Government Relations and External Affairs Sophie Hansen and a practicing clinician. Together, they explored how to recognize early signs of stress, prevent burnout, and adopt practical strategies to support well-being both at work and at home.

Cambridge Savings Bank is a proud sponsor of the Vinfen Film Festival, further strengthening the partnership between our organizations around shared values of wellness, connection, and community impact.
