Mental Health Crisis

Mental Health Crisis

Across our Island, as in many other places, life's crises have had serious effects on individuals, couples, and families. Mental health needs are on the increase. MV Mediation does not provide mental health services, but we are able to provide referrals. Please reach out, we are good at listening and may be able to help you to take the first steps forward.

If you or someone you know is in a mental health crisis, please call 911, Emergency Services on Martha's Vineyard at 508-693-0032,

or the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 800-273-8255.

Mediation Musings: Celebrating Light

Mediation Musings: Celebrating Light

Celebrating light is the theme for November and December holidays across the world. The Hindu festival of Divali was celebrated last week with the lighting of candles to wish one another good luck, riches, and generosity. As the waning light of the sun in the Northeast US is heading us toward the shortest day of the year, many light candles and install lighting displays to brighten our lives and the lives of those around us.

Honor Indigenous Peoples' Day

Honor Indigenous Peoples' Day

The MV Mediation Community honors Indigenous Peoples' Day.

We acknowledge that we are standing on the land of the Wôpanâak (Wampanoag) people and nation, who settled this land at least 12,000 years ago and still celebrate it as home today. Although commonly referred to as Martha's Vineyard, this island has a much older name, a Wôpanâak name: Noëpe.
