Today, our Development and Communications Manager is attending a regional meeting of Nonprofit Development Professionals that is going to be discussing the importance of sharing the meaningful stories of the impact in a responsible and ethical way.
It is a priority of COMPASS to preserve the dignity, power, and wellbeing of everyone involved in the storytelling process in sharing COMPASS' very important mission.
COMPASS Throwback!
In May of 1997, a COMPASS student won a local poetry contest and read his poem to Poet Laureate Maya Angelou in Roxbury.
This picture was featured in the Boston Globe at the time.
Awesome

Three and a half years ago, Marlee Brown started at COMPASS as a Family Specialist for the Community Services program, working as a mentor to youth and families that were involved with the Department of Children and Families (DCF). As of May 2019, Marlee graduated with a Master’s in Social Work and has advanced to be a Family Clinician.
Throughout her experiences with COMPASS, she recounts that every day is very different, “that you need to be ready for anything”. Below, Marlee describes what a “typical” day in the life of a Family Clinician looks like.
This morning, staff attended the Massachusetts Coalition for Suicide Prevention - Northeast Region's 12th Annual Leadership Breakfast entitled, "In Search of Answers: Opioid Use and Suicide".
The presenters (including DA Marian Ryan) and panelists addressed the complex issues surrounding the intersectionality of opioid overdoses and suicide deaths in Massachusetts and Middlesex County.
