Congratulations to Meri-Ellen Morgans on Her Promotion!

We are thrilled to announce that Meri-Ellen Morgans has been promoted to Division Director of the Adult Community Clinical Supports (ACCS) Program. With over three decades of experience in community mental health services, Meri-Ellen’s commitment to ethical practice, recovery-focused care, and leadership continues to inspire those around her.

In her new role, she will provide administrative and clinical oversight, lead multidisciplinary teams, and collaborate with key stakeholders like the Department of Mental Health and Berkshire Medical Center to ensure the highest level of care for adults with mental health needs.

Meri-Ellen’s passion doesn’t stop there. As a per diem Medical Social Worker with HospiceCare of the Berkshires, she supports families navigating end-of-life care. She also mentors future social workers as an Adjunct Field Instructor at several prestigious institutions.
