About This Cause

Residential services for children ages 4-14 include acute treatment to stabilize crises, intensive group home services where children can stay longer if necessary, and transitional care for children so they can be successful after they leave. We are the only organization in the city of Boston that provides 24/7 residential care for children. Brighton Allston Mental Health Association- programs include individual, group, and family therapy in Boston Public Schools, and in-home therapy and mentoring services for children aged 3-20 with significant behavioral health needs. This community-based system of care is available to ensure families and their children with significant behavioral, emotional and mental health needs obtain the services necessary for success in home, school and the community. The Italian Home sends staff into the homes of clients to provide therapy and to develop treatment plans to help improve the lives of children and their families. The clinic provides mental health services to children, adults and families as well as contracts with providers in the Greater Boston area. The Special Education school consists of six classrooms with 25-30 children ages 4-14 with diagnoses such as post-traumatic stress disorder, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, autism spectrum disorder, and cognitive impairments. Each classroom is run by a certified special education teacher, assistant teacher and child care worker. In addition, we also offer an After-School Program and a Summer Camp/School Vacation Program. We also offer structured therapeutic after-school and vacation programs that offer therapeutic and extracurricular activities for children aged 4-14.
