PREFACE
The Massachusetts Depaurtment ofMental Health is pleased to present this
1996 version ofthe Multi-Cultural Populations Resource Directory. This
publication contains updated information about agencies and institutions which offer
culturally and linguistically appropriate services within the Commonwealth. While
it is not an exhaustive listing, it is hoped that users will look upon this directory as a
starting point to become better acquainted with available resources. It has been
compiled by the Department's Office ofMulti-Cultural Services/Refugee Assistance
Program (OMCS/RAP) which, although not listed as an entry within the directory,
may also be looked upon as an additional resource. You may contact OMCS/RAP
at [phone] Ext. 366.
While mental illness occurs within all groups ofpeople, regardless ofrace,
ethnicity, gender or class, multi-cultural populations are often unable to access
needed services due to institutional and cultural barriers. It is hoped that this
directory will prove to be an additional tool in overcoming those barriers and
providing critical services to all within the Commonwealth.

Dedication
This Resource Directory is dedicated to those who remain behind...your presence
continues to burn brightly for those who are attempting to create a future which will
be healthy and whole.
