Spring is one of our favorite times of year – we celebrate new beginnings, nicer weather, and a variety of events that celebrate the mental health community and acknowledge the critical work we must continue to do. Our May edition of The VOICE peeks into our Spring Season happenings: 🌸 See a glimpse of our new Andover Street residence in Lowell 🌸 Revisit our inclusive evening of music with the LSO 🌸 Celebrate advocacy in action from our State House events 🌸 And more!

One year into the establishment of the Lowell HUB, Vinfen Director of Clinical Practice Standards and Clinical Projects, Josh Smith, and Lowell CBHC Executive Director, Daniela Johnson, attended the annual Massachusetts Situation Table Convening. The Situation Table is a structured community response to support individuals and families who may be experiencing Acute Elevated Risk situations. Josh participated in a panel discussion during the meeting to reflect on Vinfen’s experiences over the past year in Lowell. We are proud to be part of this network of hubs—law enforcement, state agencies, schools, health care providers, first responders, and other service providers and stakeholders—aiming to improve the quality of life for our own community members while serving as a resource for others.
