Community Calendar

NAMI Western Massachusetts is pleased to offer their NAMI Family-to-Family Education Program in person, starting Tuesday, September 10, from 5:30 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. in Holyoke.
What is the NAMI Family-to-Family Education Program?

NAMI Family-to-Family is a free, 9-session educational program for family, significant others, and friends of people with mental health conditions. It is a designated evidenced-based program. This means that research shows that the program significantly improves the coping and problem-solving abilities of the people closest to a person with a mental health condition.
NAMI Western Massachusetts and its dedicated volunteers, members, and leaders work tirelessly to raise awareness and provide essential education, advocacy, and support programs for people in our community living with mental health conditions and their loved ones.

PRE-REGISTRATION IS REQUIRED

Each of us has a story, our own personal history and collection of experiences that make us who we are. Storytelling is a natural part of collective learning. Around kitchen tables, at cookouts and family gatherings, after church, people gather and tell stories of wisdom of generations. Retelling of personal history— the mundane and the profound— is our path to liberation.

Tell Her This Community Storytelling Events bring an audience's stories and experiences to life. Musician and Podcaster, Rochelle Rice, will help participants present their personal stories, in the honest and heartfelt conversational style of Tell Her This Podcast. Stories will be presented live and accompanied by live music.

Each service includes an uplifting talk that touches on real-life experiences—like relationships, resilience, and personal growth—offering down-to-earth reflections to help you navigate life with clarity, compassion, and a sense of connection.

The healing portion of the service begins with a peaceful, guided meditation accompanied by live harp music, creating a calm and supportive space. Those who wish may then receive gentle, hands-on energy healing from certified Spiritualist healers while seated.

The service concludes with a demonstration of mediumship from the podium, where the medium shares messages from loved ones in spirit. These brief, heartfelt messages are intended to provide evidence of the continuity of life and offer comfort, healing, and connection.

Tell Her This is more than a podcast—it’s a heartfelt journey into the lives of women, told through honest, intimate stories that transcend borders and generations. With over 100,000 downloads in 151 countries across six continents, Tell Her This has created a global community of listeners who are drawn to its raw authenticity and deeply personal narratives.

Hosted by music artist Rochelle Rice, the podcast is built on the power of connection. Traveling over 6,000 miles across the U.S., Rochelle has gathered stories that reflect the complexities of the human experience. From the bittersweet ache of family estrangement to the transformative moments of near-death experiences, Tell Her This shines a light on the strength, vulnerability, and beauty of women’s lives.

Tell Her This Live! brings these stories to life in a three-dimensional, multi-media experience. Audiences are immersed in audio vignettes from the podcast, paired with Rochelle’s emotionally charged performances of original music blending pop, soul, and jazz. This is set against a backdrop of striking video imagery from Strong, Like Water, a large-scale portrait art installation that honors the resilience and grace of women.

Through words, music, and visual art, Tell Her This invites listeners to connect with the profound and universal truths found in personal stories, proving that even in our differences, we are connected.
