The Council for Human Services meeting held on April 24, 2025, in Nantucket, Massachusetts, focused on several key topics, including upcoming events, board member applications, and community engagement initiatives.

The meeting began with a discussion about an event scheduled for May 10 at the library, titled "Horses for Mental Health in the Herd." This initiative aims to promote mental health awareness and is a collaboration with local organizations, including the Family Resource Center and FAIRWINDS. The impact of such programs on youth was highlighted, with an example of a young woman who chose to prioritize her participation in this program over sports, demonstrating the program's significance.

The council also addressed the upcoming expiration of terms for three board members: Suzanne, Tara, and Amanda. Members were reminded to check their mail for formal notifications regarding their terms and to complete the application process by May 16. The application can be found on the town's website, and members were encouraged to apply for an additional open seat with two years remaining in its term.

As the meeting progressed, it was noted that some members had to leave early due to prior commitments. Despite this, the council maintained a quorum to continue discussions. The meeting concluded with expressions of gratitude for the contributions of all members and a reminder of the next meeting scheduled for May 22 at 4 PM.

Overall, the meeting underscored the council's commitment to community engagement and the importance of mental health initiatives, while also facilitating the transition of board members.
