Looking for a meaningful way to give back locally? We are seeking new members to join our volunteer Board of Directors. Our mission is to prevent su***de and support those impacted by su***de loss through compassionate, nonjudgmental programs including the 988 Su***de & Crisis Lifeline, grief support, and community education.

We’re looking for community members who care deeply about this mission and want to lend their time, experience, and perspective to helping us remain a strong resource for Cape Cod and the Islands.

Board service is an unpaid volunteer position and includes attending regular meetings, supporting fundraising and community outreach efforts, and helping provide thoughtful oversight and direction for the organization.

You don’t need to be a mental health professional to make a difference. We welcome people with a variety of professional backgrounds, lived experiences, skills, and connections to our community.

💙 Interested in learning more? Reach out to Don Mroz, Board Governance Chair, at [email protected] to express your interest.

☀️ Summer on Cape Cod and the Islands means getting out into the community!

We’ve loved spending this summer connecting with neighbors, sharing resources, and showing up at some of the events that make this season on the Cape so special. 💙

A few highlights from our summer so far:
⚾ Catching some Cape Cod Baseball League action at the Cotuit Kettleers vs. Falmouth Commodores game
💚 Raising awareness and sharing resources at Mental Health Awareness Day during the Y-D Red Sox vs. Harwich Mariners game
🚗 Joining the Greater Hyannis Chamber of Commerce for the Hyannis Father’s Day Car Show

Community outreach is about more than being there for people in moments of crisis. It’s also about being present in the places where our community gathers: starting conversations, building connections, and making sure more people know that support is available when they need it.

Have an upcoming community event? We’d love to hear from you! Reach out if you’d like us to attend, table, or share resources at an event on Cape Cod or the Islands!

A huge THANK YOU to our incredible Team Samaritans runners who took on the Falmouth Road Race yesterday! From months of training and fundraising to 7 miles on the course, we’re so grateful for the time, energy, and heart you put into supporting our mission.

Together, our runners have raised nearly $33,000 to support our su***de prevention, community education, and grief support programs. We couldn’t be prouder of (or more grateful for) this team. Here are a few more fun pictures from our time greeting some of the team members at the Expo for their bib pick-up!

The race may be over, but there’s still time to help them cross one more finish line! Donations to Team Samaritans are still open. If you’d like to celebrate our runners and help push their fundraising total even higher, make a gift today: https://raceroster.com/events/2026/112177/the-2026-asics-falmouth-road-race/fundraising-organization/84413

Congratulations, Team Samaritans — and thank you to everyone who ran, donated, cheered, shared, and supported them along the way! 💙

🎡🐐 Nothing says summer like the Barnstable County Fair! From friendly farm animals and thrilling rides to sweet treats and community connections, it was a joy to spend time with so many of you last week.

Thank you to everyone who stopped by our table to say hello, learn about our programs, pick up resources, or simply chat. Community events like the fair remind us that caring for one another starts with showing up—and we're grateful to be part of a community that does just that.

Whether you came for the funnel cake, the livestock, or the Ferris wheel, we hope you had a wonderful time. We loved being there with you and look forward to seeing you at future community events! 💙
