RevereTV Spotlight

  May is Mental Health Awareness Month. Revere’s Director of Public Health, Lauren Buck, hosted this month’s episode of “Focus on Health” revolving around mental health resources functioning in Revere. The two guests were the Director of Emergency Services for North Suffolk Community Services, Kate Moore (MSW, LICSW), and the Police Captain of the Division of Community Services & Head of the Behavioral Health Unit, Captain Amy O’Hara. Along with highlighting the programs these guests run, the conversation also pointed to destigmatizing talking about mental health and mental health struggles. Watch this episode of “Focus on Health” every day on the Community Channel through the month of May. It is also posted to RevereTV’s YouTube page, where you can watch it at any time.

  Other Revere Public Health employees were at RevereTV last week to produce a few new messages for the “Public Health Minute.” This miniseries will now be playing in between programming on all RTV channels, and every video will be posted to the show’s playlist on RTV’s YouTube page. The current PSAs of this series are now posted. Watch RevereTV to find out about how to request mosquito spraying for your property this summer, and for where and when to find the Revere Farmers’ Market this year.

  Revere High School held its senior prom last week! RevereTV was able to catch the seniors and their dates as they arrived at Danversport Yacht Club for their special night. Teachers interviewed students to ask them what they were excited about and their favorite high school memories, and to show off their prom looks. The RHS red carpet event streamed live on the Community Channel and YouTube last week, and it is now replaying at various times on the channel over the next few months. Keep an eye out for coverage of more Revere High School senior events, including graduation next month.

  The Revere Community School held a 10-year anniversary event. This program has been operating out of Revere High School in the evenings since 2013. Classes are for adult community members and include learning English, learning Spanish, becoming a US citizen, HiSET credential exam prep, computer workforce skills, internet skills, and more. RevereTV was at this anniversary event and will soon be playing coverage of the celebration on the RTV Community Channel. A video will also be posted to YouTube.

  Don’t forget to tune in to RTV GOV for live local government meetings.
