We welcomed 2 volunteers from the CUMMINGS FOUNDATION. Katelyn Quynn & Ed Rocha visited to speak with Sue Keays & senior staff about how we are benefiting from Cummings’ most generous 10-year grant of $300K. In year 4 of the grant, we shared news of the founding of our first-in-the-nation Neurodevelopmental Unit & our Partial Hospitalization Program. After the visit, Katelyn said: “I was so impressed by the level of both compassion and professionalism/expertise that we saw yesterday. We are so fortunate to have you in our backyard!” Thank you #cummingsfoundation !

About us
Italian Home for Children offers its help to children ages 4-14 in our residential and day treatment programs and through our educational services. These children may have learning disabilities or emotional, behavioral and mental health concerns brought on by trauma in their home, school or community. Unfortunately, many children and families are faced with overcoming these situations alone, but with help from Italian Home, these issues are oftentimes resolved. Italian Home for Children provides these boys and girls with the best education, care and treatment so they can thrive at home or in their community. With individualized therapies and around-the-clock nurturing, we help them rebuild their lives - emotionally and academically. In addition, we also pave the way for a healthy and safe reintegration back into their schools, families and communities by giving them the tools to cope with their traumatic situations. The programs and services administered by Italian Home are the last and only link between these children and the lives they so desperately wish to live.

They EMERGED to RAISE almost $14k to send kids to camp! Many thanks to our Emerging Leaders & friends - 17 strong - who sacrificed a day of beach & barbecue to attend our Fitness Fundraiser at Backyahd Boston. They reached out to their networks to secure donations so that 10 kids will have this life-changing experience of summer camp.

Many thanks to the kind and creative volunteers from Dyer Brown & Associates for visiting and spending time with our kids!
Founded in 1919, as an orphanage, after the influenza epidemic of 1918, Italian Home for Children services many avenues for our local Boston community. These include mental health services, in-home therapies, therapeutic mentoring, after school programs, camps, intensive group homes, residential treatment services, and a spiritual enrichment program. Our Dyer Brown volunteers made arts and crafts with their current children including their specialized neurodiverse community. With a focus on helping the children with a wide range of skills, together, we painted ornaments, crafted paper jellyfish, and created sensory bottles. We even had an ice cream party to wrap up the day! #CultureDrivesDesign #CorporateCulture #design #architecture #interiors #Recognition #shoutout #celebrate #value #achievement

Delta Dental put smiles on all our faces when they dropped off a treasure trove of hygiene kits for our kids last week. THANK YOU, Jacqueline Duren, MBA, MHCDS for picking Italian Home!
Our #SummerOfSmiles program is in full swing! To kick it off Jacqueline Duren, MBA, MHCDS traveled to the Italian Home for Children and donated 100 dental hygiene kits. Jacqui chose this organization because as a mom herself, she supports their mission of creating a network of powerful and effective programs to help children and families in Boston. Follow us for more updates as we give back to our communities and #EmpowerSmiles across MA, all summer long.

It’s 8 days away — our Fitness Fundraiser on June 29th at 1:00 pm at Backyahd Boston. Join our Emerging Leaders group – young supporters of our mission – to raise funds to send 10 kids to summer camp for 2 weeks. Summer camp is these kids’ only “vacation” all year. Camp includes a program of outdoor activities that are equally fun & therapeutic. Many thanks to Devaney Energy, Inc & Self CenteRx for their generous support. Work up a sweat to give kids a life-changing experience. Link: https://lnkd.in/gsKhci3X

Can you imagine going from shying away from recess to starring onstage in a school performance? That’s the socialization progress Aiden, an 11-year-old with autism, has made thanks to donors like you & individual therapy/group work at Italian Home. Play is vital for socialization, but our 25-year-old playground is worn, outdated. Can you help us “spring ahead” & raise $20K by 6/30, the end of our fiscal year? To give: https://lnkd.in/dCej3ucw
