Through education and opportunities to connect, the goal of Franklin Connects is to reduce loneliness and increase belonging in our community.
Franklin is a wonderful community that often is found on lists of Best Places to Live, Best Places to Visit and more.
The reason is simple — the people.
Our community is warm and welcoming, where neighbors care for neighbors.
But not everyone can easily find their place.
Loneliness exists in Franklin as it does in communities everywhere. And it impacts all ages, races and demographics.
Franklin Connects has emerged from Find Hope Franklin, an effort championed by Mayor Ken Moore and a host of mental health and substance use experts and concerned citizens to erase the stigma of mental health in our community by providing resources and training.
