After being sworn in as Commissioner of the Massachusetts Department of Mental Health, Emily Bailey visited Western Massachusetts and included a stop at Gándara's Impact Center.

During her visit, Commissioner Bailey took the time to tour the Impact Center, engage in meaningful conversations about our programs, and listen closely to the experiences of the youth we serve. Her thoughtful questions demonstrated a genuine interest in understanding both the challenges and successes of our work. Most importantly, she created space for our youth to share their own stories, perspectives, and hopes for the future, allowing their voices to be heard firsthand.

We also discussed the critical need for additional housing resources and support services for young people in our community. We are grateful for Commissioner Bailey's attentiveness, compassion, and willingness to listen. Thank you, Commissioner, for recognizing the importance of this work, for your concern for the well-being of our youth, and for taking the time to learn about the impact we strive to make every day.

Today, on International Children’s Day, we celebrate the joy, resilience, and potential of every child.

At Gándara Center, we are honored to support children, youth, and families through programs that provide guidance, connection, and opportunities to grow. From our Springfield Family Resource Center and youth mentoring programs to behavioral health services and family support initiatives, we are committed to helping young people and their families feel empowered and supported every step of the way.

Every child deserves a safe environment, a strong support system, and the chance to thrive. Thank you to our staff, families, and community partners who continue making that possible every day.
