Calling Youth & Caregivers!

If you’ve participated in our School-Based Telebehavioral Health program or another behavioral health service, now or in the past, we’d love to hear from you.

We’re hosting short, virtual chats to learn what’s working, what’s not, and how we can make SBTBH better.

Your comfort and confidentiality are our priority. We will provide a thank-you stipend for your time.

When it comes to AI in mental health care, it feels like we’re stuck asking the wrong question. We keep debating “Should AI be part of mental health?”—but people have already made that decision for us. Tech should help us connect more deeply—not replace those connections. Let’s shift the conversation to: How do we use AI in ways that are ethical, responsible, and truly supportive of people’s mental health?

Healing in community. Growing through connection. 💙

What was hurt in relationships often needs to be healed through relationships. Group therapy can be a powerful tool for working through experiences and emotions together.

At The Brookline Center, our adult groups are offered in two main formats:
• Threads: Structured, skills-based groups that run in seasonal cohorts.
• Interpersonal Process Groups: Ongoing discussion-based groups for specific populations
