About this directory The Youth Services Directory is a resource guide for all youth and their service providers. Organizations in the Boston area specializing in HIV/AIDS/STD prevention and education, primary medical care, mental health, substance abuse, and faith-based organizations are among the service providers included in this directory. Connect to Protect®: Boston is pleased to publish the Youth Services Directory and to acknowledge these community-specific organizations and programs that are making important contributions to protecting the health and well-being of young people. Information provided in this directory is a public service. Although every effort has been made to ensure the accuracy of the content, Connect to Protect®: Boston is not responsible for inaccurate, misprinted or omitted information. In addition, we realize the magnitude of resources provided by highly diligent, motivated and community based organizations to their constituency may not be listed in this directory due to our publishing time constraints. However, the fluidity of this process will allow additions that can be made in the future. And, if there are any organizations that should have been included, please let us know. It is only through a collaborative effort among communities and researchers that we can address the specific needs of young people and build a better future by reducing the risks to the health of our youth. It is our hope that this resource directory will help you “Connect To Protect®” Judith Palmer-Castor, M.A., Ph.D. Project Director / Connect to Protect: Boston Partnerships for Youth Prevention Interventions Division of Adolescent/Young Adult Medicine Children’s Hospital Boston 617-355-4191 mailto:Judith.castor@childrens.harvard.edu 6
