About Monadnock Peer Support:
Monadnock Peer Support was founded in 1995 as an alternative that complements and supplements the traditional mental health system. They are a member-driven organization that provides opportunities for people who experience mental health issues to support one another in moving towards what they want in life. They also establish a culture in which their members and participants feel more empowered and less dependent on traditional mental health care.
They also have a warm line, a free, confidential, non-medical peer support call line. You can call between 4 pm – 9pm, any day of the week and year. You can call the Warm Line at 603-352-5094.

Celebrate Cider Monday
That’s not a typo! Instead of Cyber Monday, a day when online merchants offer special deals, we invite you to a new tradition, CIDER MONDAY. Willard Williams, co-founder of the Toadstool Bookshops in Keene and Peterborough, dreamed up this event as an antidote to Cyber Monday. It’s also a perfect way to celebrate Shop Indie Local Season.
