Our Mission
Empowering resilience through compassion, culture, and care.
At the STAR program, our goal is to expand access to culturally responsive, trauma-informed, and developmentally appropriate clinical services, along with holistic case management, for refugees and other populations eligible under the Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR) across Massachusetts. Through these efforts, we aim to support the successful integration and long-term well-being of individuals and families as they rebuild their lives in a new environment. We are committed to fostering a welcoming and inclusive community by collaborating with local partners and continuously adapting our services to meet the evolving needs of those we serve.
