Dear Friends,
In 2020, we made the shift to virtual family support in order to keep families connected to vital services. In 2021, we returned to in-person programs when we could do so safely and built on our lessons learned from year one of virtual programming. As a result, we were able to be more connected than ever. Our programs met with families where they were most comfortable. They continued to utilize video chats to meet regularly with families, while also beginning to offer in-person visits and groups.
We are so grateful to our partners who are instrumental in keeping children and families across Massachusetts connected to the essential programs, guidance, and resources they need to thrive. This important work could not be done without our supporters.
Thank you for joining us to help end child abuse!
Sincerely,
home visits were conducted through our Healthy Families program, including
22,449 virtual visits.
