PORTSMOUTH—I Got Bridged, a 501c3 non-profit organization based in Portsmouth, is pleased to welcome a distinguished guest speaker to their monthly “Time4Joy” Fellowship Group at the First United Methodist Church in Portsmouth, NH on Jan. 7, 8:30 to 10 a.m.

Led by Dartmouth-Health Senior Director of External Affairs John Broderick, formerly the Chief Justice of the NH Supreme Court, and in collaboration with the Children’s Hospital at Dartmouth-Health, the New Hampshire Department of Education, the Vermont Agency of Education and other agencies and civic leaders across both states, Broderick has been reaching out to students, educators, parents, businesses and communities, to change the conversation on mental health and to help reduce stigma.

Broderick believes that “we have the ability to change the culture and the way mental health is viewed.” He wants to spread this message to as many students, educators, parents, businesses and communities as he can.

I Got Bridged “bridges the gap for people in need on the Seacoast." Through a network of volunteers, the charity’s focus is helping others in need across our community. This includes, but is not limited to shoveling, transportation to the food pantry and medical appointments, creating and distributing care packages, helping the homeless, the elderly and those in recovery.

The “Time4Joy” Fellowship Group meets the first Saturday of every month from 8:30 to 10 a.m. at the First United Methodist Church, 129 Miller Ave., Portsmouth. It is open to the public at no charge and includes complimentary breakfast and La Mulita coffee.
