This month, we recommit ourselves to advancing inclusion, promoting self-determination, and challenging stigma wherever it exists. We embrace disabilities as natural parts of human diversity. We will always recognize and uplift the voices, rights, and experiences of people of all abilities. 🌈🫶

Continuous education from our friends at The Arc of Massachusetts!

So now that we've explained what Home and Community-Based Services (HCBS) are, you might be wondering: how do HCBS work in Massachusetts?

Medicaid, known as MassHealth here, is the foundation of HCBS. Here's what that means.

Check back tomorrow at noon for more on HCBS in Massachusetts.

Help educate your mind! Thank you to our friends at The Arc of Massachusetts for this important information!

Home and Community-Based Services (HCBS) are programs that help people with disabilities live in their own homes and communities.

Over the next week, we're going to give you a deep dive into what HCBS are, what's at stake, and what you can do to help.

Check back tomorrow at noon for more.

Today marks the beginning of Mental Health Awareness Month, where we will come together under this year’s theme of “Turn Awareness into Action.” We know that recognizing mental health is important, but actively working to make positive changes in our communities holds even more impact for ourselves, loved ones, and neighbors.

We are proud to be in partnership with the Longwood Symphony Orchestra this month, where a portion of ticket sales on May 10 will directly benefit Vinfen programs supporting the mental health and overall wellness of the people we serve.

This special event is an uplifting way to acknowledge, and take action, during Mental Health Awareness Month. Come for the music, stay for the mission. 💚

Please act now!

Donald Trump said he would "love and cherish" Medicaid. He's endorsed a House GOP proposal that would likely gut the program.
