TFG EVENTS

This May, The Dooryard is partnering with Amplify to host a series of workshops in honor of Mental Health Awareness Month. Amplify is an incredible Connecticut-based organization that provides essential education and resources to individuals and families navigating mental health challenges, substance misuse, and the realities of suicide and addiction. Their work is deeply rooted in prevention and support, offering a reliable path forward for anyone in our community who has been impacted by these struggles. These sessions are designed to be a practical and supportive space where you can find helpful tools and connect with others who understand your experience. Our first workshop begins on May 5th at 5:30pm, with subsequent meetings starting between 5:30pm and 6:00pm every Tuesday evening. While we are still finalizing the registration details and specific weekly topics, we invite you to stay tuned for updates. We truly look forward to seeing you there and working together toward a more supportive and hopeful future for everyone.
