This November, Eliot Community Human Services honors Native American Heritage Month and recognizes the enduring contributions, strength, and wisdom of Indigenous peoples across Massachusetts and the nation.

We acknowledge that the Indigenous peoples of this region — including the Massachusett, Nipmuc, Pequot, Wampanoag, and other Tribal Nations — have been the original stewards and caretakers of this land and its communities for countless generations. Their traditions of care, connection, and resilience continue to shape the fabric of our shared society.

At Eliot, we strive to deliver care that reflects this same commitment to collaboration, empowerment, and humility, recognizing that healing and wellbeing are rooted in relationships, respect, and community. We remain dedicated to learning from and standing in solidarity with Native communities as we work toward a more equitable and compassionate future for all.

🕸️ At our Community Behavioral Health Centers, staff brought the holiday to life with door-decorating contests and family trick-or-treating throughout the halls.

Thank you to everyone who helped create moments of joy, connection, and community across Eliot! 💙🧡

🎻 When youth lead, entire communities rise.

Eliot Community Human Services is proud to partner with Stitcch, a remarkable youth-founded nonprofit bringing free violin and voice lessons to children in our families and communities.

✨ What started as high schoolers teaching music became something much deeper:
🔹 Weekly connections across cultures and languages
🔹 Moments of joy for kids navigating trauma
🔹 Instruments gifted to every child — and concerts that filled the room with pride

It’s more than music. It’s healing, inclusion, and friendship.

Our Parents as Teachers team from Eliot’s Holyoke office is making us proud! 🙌

This week, they’re in Puerto Rico for the National Parents as Teachers Conference. Prevention Director Nancy Ritz and Program Supervisor Brittani Bey led a workshop titled “Enhancing Outcomes through CQI and Family Engagement” — their second year presenting at the conference!

Meanwhile, team members Elizabeth Paskins, Nayadette Torres, and Nancy Garcia joined a panel discussion to share insights from their $25,000 grant from the National PAT office to facilitate STEM-focused groups for families.

Way to go, team! Your work is inspiring families and setting a national example. 💙

Turning Data into Better Care 💙

Members of Eliot's leadership—Kerry Rivard, Meaghan James, and Aaron Katz—recently joined Dr. Jill Donelan of Mirah to present at the Collaborative Family Healthcare Association conference in Raleigh, NC!

Together, they shared how Eliot’s Measurement-Based Care (MBC) model is improving treatment precision, empowering clinicians, and helping clients achieve lasting recovery.

💡 When we collect meaningful data, share it openly, and act on it collaboratively—care becomes more effective and human-centered.

Eliot’s outcomes speak for themselves:

45% of clients improved their overall well-being

49% saw decreased anxiety

46% reduced depressive symptoms

75% of clients at suicide risk achieved a safer level after treatment

Eliot Community Human Services is proud to sponsor a new feature in partnership with WBUR 90.9 FM highlights the Bipolar Action Network (BAN)—a national collaboration transforming how care for bipolar disorder is delivered.

Working alongside partners such as Mass General Brigham and Cincinnati Children’s Hospital, Eliot helps bridge research and community-based care, ensuring treatment is built with people and families, not for them.

As we close out , we’re honored to share one final story from Equipo Renacer — Eliot’s Spanish-language behavioral health team serving children, teens, and adults in Lynn.

In this video, Maria Acosta, Recovery Coach, reflects on her journey from peer specialist to recovery coach — and how her work helps bridge culture, compassion, and care for those who might not otherwise have access to support.

💬 “Our team’s work is important because it gives opportunities to people without resources or services.”

Today, on Indigenous Peoples’ Day, we honor the strength, resilience, and enduring presence of Indigenous communities across Massachusetts and throughout the nation.

At Eliot, we recognize that our work takes place on lands originally stewarded by Indigenous peoples, whose deep connection to community, healing, and the natural world continues to guide and inspire us.

We stand in solidarity with Indigenous individuals and communities, committed to a future grounded in respect, equity, and collective healing.

May today serve as a reminder to listen, learn, and act in ways that honor Indigenous sovereignty, stories, and wisdom.

At Eliot Community Human Services, we continue to learn what it truly means to embed suicide prevention into every layer of care.

Through our adoption of the Zero Suicide framework, our teams have delivered tens of thousands of suicide-related interventions — each one a reminder that prevention begins with connection, compassion, and collaboration.

We’re grateful to stand alongside so many partners in behavioral health and human services across Massachusetts who share this commitment. Together, we’re working toward a future where every system of care is built on hope — and every person knows they are not alone.
