Featured Success Stories

Ruth Recovered Her Life Through In SHAPE

I was suffering from depression, anxiety, and agoraphobia. Starting the In SHAPE program wasn’t easy for me, having to meet people at a certain time, go to a gym where there were a lot of other people, and discuss myself with a mentor. But my first mentor was a perfect match for me.

Understanding Military Culture

Monadnock Family Services was a sponsor for a day-long program in Keene – one of nine statewide – to help mental health professionals achieve a better understanding of military culture. The program was conducted with leadership from the New Hampshire National Guard as Guardsmen and Reservists and their families prepare for the largest deployment of troops in the state’s history.
