WHITINSVILLE – At its first in-person event in more than a year, ValleyCAST brought together inspirational music, insightful and impactful speeches and a beautiful flower garden to spread seeds and messages of hope to commemorate the start of Mental Health Awareness Month.
In collaboration with the Yellow Tulip Project, ValleyCAST’s first-ever Hope Day was held May 1 outdoors at the Dennis H. Rice Community Plaza at Alternatives’ Whitin Mill, as a way to bring conversations about mental health to the forefront.
“It’s so important we don’t treat it as something you can’t talk about,” said Heather Elster, executive director of the Whitin Community Center, which participated in the event, along with No One Walks Alone Peer Recovery Center and ValleyCAST.

Tulip Project seeks to âsmash the stigmaâ
ELLSWORTH â Depression. Anxiety. These are the current buzzwords for teenagers and those who work with them after a year-plus of shutdowns, hybrid or remote schooling and social distancing. But students at Ellsworth High School were called to action through the Yellow Tulip Project, a movement that began in Falmouth and spread as a nation of youth caught on. The initiative aims to âsmash the stigma of mental illnessâ through open conversations about mental illness and mental health struggles.
EHS seniors Abigail Mazgaj and Calvin Nelson both were drawn to the project through their involvement with the school chapter of Rachelâs Challenge, which addresses bullying in schools. The two spoke to School Board members on April 13 about the project with Assistant Principal Rebecca Wright and Adult Education Director Annie Sargent.
