💙 Thank You to Our First Responders 💙

Our hearts are with everyone impacted by today’s fire in Keene. We are deeply grateful to the firefighters, police, EMTs, and all first responders who acted with courage and care to keep our community safe.

A special thank-you to our Board Chair, Ed Walker, who also serves as Fire Chief of Peterborough and was on the scene. We’re proud to have such dedicated leadership within our Monadnock Family Services family.

We learned of a major house fire this morning on Elliot St here in Keene. We want the community to know that we are available to speak with anyone whose mental health has been impacted. Events such as these are very traumatizing and we were here to help.

We have walk-in hours at 40 Avon St here in Keene until 6pm today. There is no need to call ahead, just come by and let us know you need to speak with someone.

🌟 Success Spotlight: A.J.’s Journey to Confidence and Connection 🌟
For over a decade, A.J. has been living with disabilities — focusing on her health, learning coping skills, and building resilience. With encouragement from her support team, she decided to take the next step: reconnecting with work through Monadnock Family Services’ Supported Employment program.
“At first, I felt my chances were pretty slim,” A.J. shared. “I didn’t think I had the right skills for any job.”
Working alongside her Supported Employment Specialist, Shar, A.J. discovered new confidence — learning that anxiety is normal, practicing interview skills, and realizing that meaningful work doesn’t have to be full-time to make a difference.
“My specialist was incredible — instrumental in helping me go back to work for the second time,” A.J. said.
👏 Today, A.J. is not only working again but thriving — proving that with the right support, courage, and community, success is always within reach.

We were thrilled to join Day of Caring last week! After a wonderful community breakfast, volunteer teams from local businesses spread out across the city to lend a hand.
An amazing group from came to Emerald House and got right to work — scrubbing walls and stairwells, deep cleaning the kitchen and fridge, and finishing ahead of schedule. They brought energy, laughter, and smiles all day long.
We’re so grateful for their support and the spirit of community that Day of Caring inspires! 💙
