Save the Date for the Central Middlesex Annual Meeting

We will gather in person on Monday, January 26th at the Edinburg Center, a community mental health center. The location is near the intersection of Route 62 and Route 3 at 205 Burlington Road in Bedford. The evening will start at 6:30 PM with dessert and social time. Presentations will begin at 7:00 PM. We’ll have a quick overview of our affiliate’s activities. Then a presentation for people living with symptoms of psychosis and those who love them, “Psychosis Unveiled,” will commence. In our January newsletter edition, we will ask for formal RSVPs to the event.

Our speaker, Dr. Emily Gagen, Ph.D., is a licensed clinical psychologist at The Brookline Community Mental Health Center. She is the director of the Massachusetts Psychosis Access and Triage Hub (M-PATH) which is a free service committed to helping individuals and families who are concerned about early psychosis to access the support they need when they need it. M-PATH is a referral and consultation service available to anyone concerned about early psychosis for themselves or their loved one. Learn more about the program here: M-PATH in Brookline.
