The listings are categorized by need or issue such as mental health or alcohol and other drug treatment. The guide was created to provide a convenient and handy resource for youth-serving providers (schools, social service agencies, youth organizations and law enforcement) to utilize when working with at-risk youth from across the region. Please contact Kirsten Doherty at 978-722-2861 or email kdoherty@glfhc.org for copies. Supplies are limited. For a PDF copy of the guide, please click here.
