The CAC of Suffolk County supports the health and wellbeing of the children and families of Boston, Chelsea, Revere, and Winthrop. Each month we'll share highlights and updates to help you better understand how you are part of the healing and justice we see every day. 

We are looking to celebrating the Lunar New Year with our friends from the Boys and Girls Club of Dorchester at the Central Library in Copley Square on February 4 at 3:30 p.m. Kids ages 2-12 and their caregivers will learn about the Lunar New Year and participate in crafts. We'll be there to hand out resources and enjoy the fun.

In early January, CAC Training Program Manager Erica Chepulis, Clinical Consultant Sharman Nathanson, and Director of Mental Health & Advocacy Services Catalina Perez (pictured left to right) presented at the Boston School-Based Behavioral Health Collaborative Annual Conference. The trio educated more than 60 Boston Public School staff and partner agency participants on understanding and responding to problematic sexual behaviors.

December Highlight

In early December, the CAC was among the 40+ community organizations present at the METCO Showcase. During the four-hour event, CAC Family Resource Specialist Gladys Sorto-Aviles, Training Program Manager Erica Chepulis, and Community Outreach Coordinator Luann Bui (pictured left to right) provided resources to the more than 200 children and families in attendance.
