Volunteers Sarah, Maxine, Nancy and Joyce
I must say I’m a bit partial to the month of May since it’s my birthday month as well as contains Mother’s Day. And this May, my fiancé’s daughter gets married plus my son graduates high school! Life is always changing, isn’t it? In this busy time, I just want to take a moment to thank all of the volunteers who help around the center. We thanked them at our Volunteer Appreciation Lunch last month and recognized Nancy Brown as the 2017-2018 Volunteer of the Year (3rd from left in picture.) If you too would like to volunteer at Madison Station (or with another FiftyForward program) please see me or Brandy!
This month, from a Flea Market to our Whistlestop fundraiser and a whole lot in between, it’s going to be a FUN month! Don’t miss out! —Julie Reeves, Program Director

Choose Your Mood May 1-15 This May, we are partnering with Insight Counseling Centers to bring an interactive mental health awareness campaign. The #NashvilleMood wall is getting the conversation started about destigmatizing mental health, raising awareness about the prevalence of mental illness, and providing communities in Middle Tennessee with information about where they can receive quality, affordable mental health services. The wall holds 21 different emotion word stickers – including words like joyful, stressed, exhausted, thankful, and hopeful – for pedestrians to take and literally “wear their emotions.” Come visit the mood wall at Madison Station May 1 -15 and wear your mood to let us know how you’re feeling! Insight Counseling Centers, founded in 1985, is a 501(c)(3) with the mission of restoring lives to wholeness – mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. We do this by providing quality counseling services to clients across eight offices in Middle Tennessee. Every year we provide over $300,000 of financial assistance for our clients to receive more than 4,500 sessions of compassionate, professionally licensed psychotherapy.
