Halloween spirit was alive and well at TaraVista today! 👻
The Tara Team came to work ready for the day — costumes, decorated pumpkins, and festive hallways everywhere.

Why? Because celebrating together matters. It’s a tradition that lifts spirits — for each other, and for the patients who are healing and the colleagues who are caring. 💜🎃

🫶One kind word can change someone’s day.
October is Bullying Prevention Month — a reminder of how important it is to create environments where everyone feels safe and included.

Bullying isn’t just hurtful — it can lead to anxiety, depression, and isolation. Nearly 1 in 5 students reports being bullied at school.

• PACER's National Bullying Prevention Center (NBPC)

Every small step toward understanding helps someone feel less alone.
At TaraVista, we believe listening is the first act of healing — and we’re here to provide the next steps of care when needed.

On this day in 1797, the USS Constitution—affectionately known as “Old Ironsides”—was launched into the waters of Boston Harbor. Built from strong oak and even stronger spirit, she became a symbol of endurance, weathering countless storms and battles while carrying hope and courage across the seas.

Each of us, in our work and in our lives, embarks on journeys not so different from hers. We navigate changing tides, face the winds of adversity, and steady ourselves through the storms that life can bring. For those living with mental health and substance use challenges, the voyage toward wellness is often one of courage and perseverance—requiring not only strength, but also the support of those who guide the way.

At TaraVista and MiraVista Behavioral Health Centers, we are proud to be a trusted harbor for individuals and families seeking healing and stability. Like the Constitution’s steadfast crew, our teams work together with compassion and precision—charting a course toward recovery that honors each person’s unique journey.

To our dedicated community partners and providers, thank you for being the navigators who help individuals find their way to us and to care. Together, we help those in need weather the rough waters and set sail toward calmer seas and brighter days.

Because healing, like any great voyage, is rarely about where we start—it’s about having faith in the journey and those who sail beside us.

⚓ Anchored in care. Guided by hope. Always moving toward recovery.

Capping off a great week of learning at TaraVista! 💙
We had two amazing trainings this week — and were so happy to have nursing students from Fitchburg State join us!

✨ One evening, Dawn Bentley from RFK Community Alliance led a powerful QPR Su***de Prevention session that left us inspired and informed.

🌈 Earlier in the week, our own Human Rights Officer, River Luck, hosted sessions on gender-affirming patient care, reminding us how important inclusion and understanding are in everything we do.

We’re so proud to be part of a team that’s always learning, growing, and sharing knowledge to better care for our patients and each other. 💫

How amazing is this Taj Mahal puzzle? 🧩

It was built piece by piece by our patients — and it’s such a great analogy for mental health.
Sometimes the pieces don’t fit right away. Sometimes you need someone beside you to help. But with patience and teamwork, the picture comes together beautifully. 💙

We do better together.

Today, we celebrate the well-being of our children—their laughter, learning, growth, and the many ways they bring light into our world. National Child Health Day reminds us that good health is more than physical—it’s emotional, mental, and social, too.

Healthy bodies and healthy minds go hand in hand. Just as we encourage children to eat well, get enough rest, and stay active, we must also remind them that it’s okay to talk about their feelings, to ask questions, and to seek help when things feel overwhelming.
Building resilience starts with creating safe spaces where young people feel heard and supported.

At TaraVista Behavioral Health Center, we see every day how early support and compassionate care can make a life-changing difference. When a young person learns that it’s okay to not be okay—and that asking for help is a sign of strength, not weakness—they
take their first step toward healing.

Let’s keep the conversation open. Let’s model empathy and understanding. And let’s continue to nurture both body and mind, so that every child grows up knowing their health—mental and physical—is worth caring for.
