Reminder this Saturday is National Drug Take Back Day. This is an easy and anonymous way to dispose of unneeded medications. Keep in mind that most adolescents who misuse substances get them from family and friends. Disposing of medications properly also protects the environment.

This Earth Day, we’re reminded that environment shapes experience.

At TaraVista, treatment happens inside, but healing is influenced by everything that surrounds it. The landscape. The light. The changing seasons. The simple but important sense of space to pause and breathe.

From above, it’s easy to see how connected it all is—how the environment beyond our walls becomes part of the experience within them.

The environment isn’t separate from care. It’s part of it. It helps create the conditions for reflection, for calm, for the first steps forward. Because healing is supported not just by what we do, but by where it happens.

Healing with Heart 💙 Meet Kaili

The first thing you notice about Kaili is her smile. It’s there when she walks in, when she walks out, and all throughout the day as she cares for our youngest patients on TaraVista’s children’s unit. Her positivity is contagious—and she knows how far that can go with kids and families, even on the toughest days.

😍 A nurse at TaraVista for 3 1/2 years, Kaili loves helping her smallest patients feel a little bigger, stronger, and more confident—much like the origami creations they make together on the unit, one careful fold at a time.

What means the most to her? When a patient spells her name correctly in a handwritten letter. It’s a simple moment, but one that reminds her that her care is seen, felt, remembered, and making a difference. 😍

A break from school shouldn’t mean a break from support.
As school vacation week begins, many kids are excited to recharge—but for some, the loss of routine and daily connection can be tough.

At TaraVista Behavioral Health Center, we want families and professionals to know: we’re here if support is needed. Changes in mood, withdrawal, or behavior can be signs a young person is struggling. When a higher level of care is needed, having a clear, compassionate path forward matters.

We offer inpatient psychiatric care for children and adolescents in a safe, structured environment—and Direct Admission to help families access care without unnecessary delays.
✔️ Faster access to care
✔️ Less stress for families
✔️ Supportive, guided admissions process

Our admissions team is local, experienced, and available 24/7—you’re not calling a call center, you’re connecting with professionals right here in your community.

📞 Call anytime: 978-615-5252
💙 One call connects you to care across TaraVista and our sister hospital, MiraVista Behavioral Health Center

April is National Counseling Awareness Month

Across our communities—in schools, medical offices, community organizations, and private practices—counselors are helping people navigate life’s challenges every day.
Whether it’s managing stress, working through anxiety or depression, coping with loss, or simply needing someone to talk to, counseling offers a space to be heard, understood, and supported.

Seeking help isn’t a sign of weakness—it’s a meaningful step toward healing, growth, and taking care of yourself. And sometimes, the level of support someone needs may change.

At TaraVista, we’re proud to work in close partnership with counselors across the region. When more intensive support is needed, including inpatient mental health care, we’re here—helping to ensure a smooth transition so care can continue without interruption. Because care doesn’t stop at one door.
It continues through connection, collaboration, and a shared commitment to your well-being.

Start with a conversation. It can change everything.

If you’re looking to connect with a counselor or need support, these resources can help you get started:
• Massachusetts Behavioral Health Help Line — Call or text 833-773-2445 (833-773-BHHL), available 24/7
• Psychology Today — www.psychologytoday.com
• SAMHSA Treatment Locator — www.findtreatment.gov

If you or someone you know needs additional support, including inpatient care, Team TaraVista is here—ready when you are.
