SUMMARY:Suicide Prevention for Communities
DESCRIPTION:Lexington Human Services is partnering with Riverside Trauma Center to present a presentation in honor of Suicide Prevention Month. \nWe are offering this as a hybrid program – Zoom link will be in registration receipt \nEveryone can help prevent suicide. Suicide prevention isn’t just about responding to those who are struggling or who we’re concerned about. It’s about empowering entire communities to know how to help someone at risk and providing them with the tools to recognize warning signs and take action. \nDeveloped by the creators of SOS Signs of Suicide\, a trusted evidence-based suicide prevention program\, Suicide Prevention for Communities is a facilitator-led training that uses video and interactive discussions to help adults build the confidence and skills to talk openly and effectively about suicide. \nThis adult training is designed to engage diverse audiences and is applicable across a range of personal and professional roles. The content emphasizes that anyone can play a role in supporting someone who may be experiencing suicidal thoughts. It also highlights the effectiveness of restricting access to lethal means and provides information on local and national mental health resources. \nKey Learnings:\n• A general understanding of suicide and why safe language is important\n• How to recognize warning signs and risk factors for suicide\n• How to use the ACT (Acknowledge\, Care\, Tell) framework when someone is struggling with thoughts of suicide\n• Ways to keep a person safe while connecting them to qualified resources

SUMMARY:Reframe: Sculpture at the Old Schwamb Mill
DESCRIPTION:ReFrame brings together the work of Adria Arch\, Olivia Baldwin\, Tory Fair\, Anna Kristina Göransson\, and Kate Holcomb Hale\, five artists with deep ties to Arlington whose practices share a restless relationship with sculptural convention. Shown in the Mill’s historic upper rooms\, close to the spaces where frames were crafted by hand\, the work spills across walls and floors\, refusing the categories that would hold it still.\nEach artist will display large-scale pieces alongside smaller works for sale\, with proceeds supporting The Old Schwamb Mill. \nThe exhibition runs September 12 – November 14\, 2026\, with an opening reception on Saturday\, September 26\, 2–3:30 pm\, a panel discussion on Saturday\, October 24\, 2–3 pm\, and a closing reception on Saturday\, November 14. \nThe historic Old Schwamb Mill in Arlington\, Massachusetts\, has been making frames since 1864. Its oval frames\, among the finest ever produced in America\, once defined the boundaries of painted worlds. This fall\, five sculptors arrive at this storied building to ask what happens when the frame gives way. \nAnna Kristina Göransson’s Seeping Memories speaks to the way memories work their way into our lives\, growing\, changing\, branching into every corner of experience. The oval frame nods to the Mill’s own manufacturing legacy and to the framed family photographs that hang in homes everywhere. \nThe sunflowers in Tory Fair’s Rage Flowers were harvested from community gardens. They are cast in silicone mixed with dirt\, the fragile beauty of a bloom transformed into something with both glamour and grit. \nOlivia Baldwin makes abstract\, two- and three-dimensional work propelled by color and movement\, built from leather\, clay\, wire\, and found and inherited materials. \nAdria Arch’s work recalls the framing specialty of The Old Schwamb Mill\, using the circle and oval as a recurring reference point. Radiating spokes\, dangling parts\, and clashing color pull the form off the wall and into motion. \nKate Holcomb Hale’s interdisciplinary practice uses sculpture\, painting\, and craft to call attention to objects and architecture that perform care\, collapsing ladders\, knotted handrails\, resting columns. Conceived after losing her mother\, father\, and brother in close succession\, this work considers who carries the weight when systems of care fail.
