September 27, 2023

We are in the midst of a national mental health crisis. Youth in our region are struggling with their mental health, and the pandemic made it worse.


This new report summarizes findings from the 2022 Community Health Needs Assessment for the Coalition of Western Massachusetts Hospitals/Insurer. It combines existing survey data and information from interviews with mental health providers and youth development professionals. 


There are many great things happening in parts of our region to support young people. Together, let's expand these efforts.
