Keeping the “Thanks” in Thanksgiving
A Gentle Reminder: Perfection isn’t the Point. Connection is. 🫶

🦃 With Turkey Day just three days away, we turned to our Chief Nursing Officer, Karyn Rossacci DNP for her approach to handling the holiday hustle.
Karyn knows this season well — juggling the demands of home life and her new role as CNO for both TaraVista and MiraVista.

Her ideas were so fun, real, and completely doable that we gathered them into a Thanksgiving Mental Health FAQ to help ease the stress so many of us feel this time of year.

From embracing “rustic” mashed potatoes to knowing when to say no for your own well-being, her tips are all about caring for yourself as thoughtfully as you care for others.
A few highlights:
• Gratitude comes before the “giving.”
• Burnt rolls = extra crispy joy.
• Even the turkey gets to rest… so should you.
• And yes, paper plates are absolutely OK.

Check out all of Karyn's tips and printable resource here: https://www.taravista.care/maintain-your-mental-health-during-the-thanksgiving-holiday/

🍁🍁This Thanksgiving, may we all find a little more calm, a little more humor, and a lot more to be grateful for.
❤️

Universal Children’s Day — November 20, 2025
Every child deserves the opportunity to grow, learn, and thrive in a world that nurtures both body and mind. Universal Children’s Day, observed globally on November 20, commemorates the adoption of the Convention on the Rights of the Child—a commitment to protecting the well-being and dignity of every child, everywhere.

At TaraVista Behavioral Health Center, we are proud to honor this day by affirming our dedication to the mental health of children and adolescents in our care. The challenges young people face today—stress, anxiety, trauma, and social pressures—require understanding, early intervention, and compassionate treatment.

Through our inpatient programs and community partnerships, TaraVista provides a safe and supportive environment where children can heal, express themselves, and rediscover hope.

Today reminds us that supporting children’s mental health is not just a responsibility—it is a shared promise to build a more compassionate, resilient future for all.

We’re here for children and adolescents, when they need us the most

Stories save lives.
The Worcester community came together for a Shattered Ice film viewing focused on su***de awareness, where our Medical Director, Allison Beckler, took part in a panel discussion on how storytelling supports healing and reduces stigma.

As a board member of the event sponsor, the Reliant Foundation , she didn’t let a cancelled flight stop her — she drove from Chicago to make sure this conversation happened. Grateful for your heart and dedication, Dr. Beckler.💜

🎦Learn more about Shattered Ice and its producer Jake Miskin, who used his own experience at Needham High School to spark this important project: https://reliantfoundation.org/sh

Today, is World Kindness Day!
Kindness is not small. It can calm anxiety, soften loneliness, lower stress, and remind someone they are not alone — and that includes you.

🫶 Acts of kindness release “feel good” hormones like oxytocin and serotonin, which support mood, connection, and emotional regulation. Being kind to others can actually help reduce your own stress level and heart rate, and being on the receiving end of kindness can make it easier to ask for help, speak up, or take that first step toward support.

💜 Kindness is care.
💚 Kindness is prevention.
🩷 Kindness is mental health.

Honoring Our Veterans 🇺🇸

Today we pause to honor those who have served our country with courage and commitment—and remember those we have lost.

Many veterans struggle with invisible wounds such as PTSD, depression, or anxiety—conditions that are real and treatable. At TaraVista, we are here when needed most, ready to support veterans in their mental health care.

This is also the perfect moment to highlight the comprehensive veterans’ services provided by Clear Path for Veterans New England—our neighbor right here in Devens—whose programs make a lasting difference in the lives of veterans and their families.💙❤️

Nine Years of Healing, Hope & Connection 💚

Today, TaraVista Behavioral Health Center celebrates its 9th anniversary. For nine years, TaraVista has been a place of healing, hope, and connection—serving children, adolescents, and adults across our region.

When we opened our doors in 2016, we set out to meet one of our region’s most critical needs: hospital-level psychiatric care, including comprehensive inpatient services for children and adolescents.

TaraVista has cared for nearly 45,000 children, adolescents, and adults — each person a reminder of why we do what we do and why this work matters so deeply. Through a global pandemic and an unprecedented rise in behavioral health needs, one thing has remained constant: our team’s unwavering commitment to exceptional, patient-centered care.

We know that nothing meaningful is achieved alone. Our success and longevity are built on collaboration—with community organizations, hospitals, schools, state agencies such as the Department of Mental Health and dedicated practitioners—who share our mission to restore hope and healing.

TaraVista’s founder, Michael P. Krupa, Ed.D., envisioned a hospital designed specifically for the unique needs of inpatient psychiatry—bright, safe, and purpose-built for both connection and privacy. That vision continues to guide us today, nine years strong and thriving. 💚
