WESTBOROUGH – On Sunday, Sept. 8, Square One presented the annual “Fall for Wellness” fair at Westborough High School.

The fair offered the chance for attendees to learn more about resources for mental health.

Those resources could include physical exercise, such as family yoga or tai chi, or more meditative endeavors, such as mindfulness, meditation, doodling or crocheting.

Information sessions included “Hidden in Plain Sight,” a mock teen’s bedroom with items that could hide illicit substances from parents; a presentation of the MetroWest Adolescent Health Survey 2023; and Mental Health 101.

Other exhibits included the Boroughs YMCA, Turquoise Table, OUT MetroWest, Evolution Martial Arts and the MetroWest Care Connection.

Dolan & Mahoney Insurance Agency and Thomas Financial Associates made a $20-per-person donation, on behalf of the first 50 attendees, to the National Alliance of Mental Illness’ anti-stigma initiatives.

Square One is a collaboration with Westborough Public Schools, Westborough Youth & Family Services, the Rotary Club of Westborough, Westborough Public Library and Westborough Connects.
