Description
North Quabbin Patch is a program of Valuing Our Children. Patch is not an acronym, but a place that means neighborhood. The program opened its doors in 1999, the product of collaboration between Valuing Our Children, the North Quabbin Community Coalition, the Department of Children and Families, the Department of Youth Services, other area service providers, and local residents.
The focus of the program has been to help develop and understand family centered and strength based practice as well as support and enhance continued collaborations among families and providers.
In addition, the program has worked to support the availability of services that have been difficult for families to access.
