MARBLEHEAD, MA —As Marblehead students and families deal with a recent tragedy, the town Mental Health Task Force will host a forum on "Understanding Grief" Wednesday night at Marblehead High School. The event is open to all students, families and staff, as well as community members who would like to attend. The event starts at 7 p.m. and will include members of the Riverside Community Care Team and Task Force members as they talk about understanding and normalizing the grief process. Those who cannot attend the forum live are welcome to watch the Livestream here. Marblehead High senior student-athlete James Galante was killed in a recent single-car crash on the causeway. A memorial fund set up to create scholarships and other ways to honor Galante's memory raised more than $111,000 since going live less than two weeks ago.
