Social Work Group Program
The Social Work Department offers a wide range and variety of group services, aimed at offering support and skill-building strategies. Groups offer a unique way of helping individuals and their families cope with various life events, challenges, and illnesses. While most of our groups are specifically designed to meet the needs of patients and family members of the medical center, some groups may be open to people outside the medical center as well. If you are interested in a particular group, please call the Social Work group information and referral line at 617-667-1830.
