With our help, this squad of the best and brightest from Revere will be able to capitalize on an opportunity to play where legends walked and dreams were realized. The girls have been invited to follow in the footsteps of Bird, Russell, Tatum and Brown and play at TD Garden. On Sunday, January 14, at 10:00 a.m., the home town heroes will take the court against the vaunted Fighting Irish of Notre Dame. Wait – that’s not quite right – they are playing the vaunted Notre Dame Cougars from Hingham – that makes more sense – but they $25 and we need to sell 200 to assure the girls’ spot on the parquet. There will be a full slate of games that day from 8:00 a.m. until 8:30 at night, so it is a great gift for that high school basketball super fan in your family.

Although most people may be understanding, there is usually one or two people who will make things more challenging for you. As a result, here are six suggestions on how to deal with the people you know regarding your mental health situation. 1. Listen to the professionals: Your friends may mean well, but when it comes down to it, the professionals are aware of your circumstances more than anyone. It is important that you listen and follow the advice from your doctor or medical professional rather than following the advice from your friends and other people you may know. 2. Don’t argue with others: It is important that you do not get into arguments with those who are giving you a tough time. It is not your job to worry about how others may view your circumstances. Focus on managing your mental health rather than trying to get everyone’s approval. 3.

If you have problems or issues with a particular person, then it’s best to keep your distance and hang out with those people who are more supportive. 4. Attend a mental health support group: There are many mental health awareness support groups in any given area. Many hospitals, churches and counselors in your area will be able to provide you with a list of these organizations. These groups will be aware of your situation and can give you additional advice regarding your concerns. 5. You are not alone: There are millions of people around the world who struggle with their fears, anxieties and depression. Many of your relatives and friends more than likely struggled with anxiety and stress sometime in their life. Do not feel that you are alone when it comes to your mental health situation because there all kinds of people around you who can relate. 6. Your goal is to get better: Focus on how you can handle the anxieties and stresses in your life rather than arguing with others who are giving you a diffi cult time. This isn’t a public relations event where you need to get approval from everyone. This is your life, and you need to be more concerned about getting your life back on track rather than pleasing everyone else.
