“We are here to help, free of judgment and full of compassion.” Today, we would like to reaffirm our commitment to this statement for each and every person who walks through our doors. Bacon Street has always been, and always will be, a space for everyone.

Our mission is to create healthier families and more resilient youth through evidence-based behavioral health and substance use services for adolescents, young adults, and their families. We are committed to providing these services to any member of our community who needs them while honoring and respecting each part of their unique identities.

Recent statements and actions from the federal government are causing distress and uncertainty for many in our community. We recognize that when people’s identities, rights, and access to what they need are threatened, it can evoke deep feelings of fear and anxiety. We are here to listen and support you through this.

As we move through these challenges together, we reaffirm that we are committed to making Bacon Street an inclusive, respectful, and supportive place to visit – today and every day to come.

Sincerely,

Kim Dellinger, M.Ed.
Executive Director
Bacon Street Youth and Family Services
