NKHS was thrilled to be part of the "Action Village" at the Noah Kahan benefit concert last Thursday, 9/19, at the Midway Lawn in Essex Junction! It was an incredible time joining other like-minded organizations with Kahan’s The Busyhead Project, a mental health initiative that breaks the stigma and provides essential resources. Alicia Webb and Rebecca Ahern from our 988 Lifeline team chatted with concertgoers about the life-saving support 988 offers. From connecting with Vermont business owners to sharing 988 info with families and educators, it was a night full of powerful conversations and community connections.
