Years like this test you in ways few things do. What really matters? What should we prioritize? What change do we want to see in the world? We’ve asked ourselves all of these questions this past year, and engaged in a constant exercise of what Maxine Greene would call“imagining things as if they were otherwise”.

We are happy to introduce our next team member, Bethany Connoly, who is the Assistant Vice President for Contracted services at Seven Hills Foundation. Her day-to-day work includes providing support to children placed in out of home care.

The Worcester Arts Council has helped us make it even easier for individuals with disabilities to access the arts. Grant awards from the council of $4,905 each to Open Door Arts and ASPiRE!, affiliates of Seven Hills Foundation, have enabled individuals to participate in creative art and dance instructions virtually.

We would like to now introduce Bonnie Foote, who currently works as a registered nurse as well as nursing supervisor at Seven Hills Foundation. Bonnie currently focuses on providing services in NeuroCare. She enjoys her work, as she believes that every day is different.

As the pandemic continues to profoundly impact mental health, a local nonprofit expanded its services to meet increased demand of in-person and telehealth visits. Seven Hills Foundation celebrated the grand opening of its newly completed 25,000 square-foot behavioral health center — Seven Hills Child & Family Behavioral Health — at 135 Gold Star Blvd., Monday afternoon.
