Please join me in congratulating Counseling Services of Greater Boston; they are the 2016 recipients of the Wakefield, MA MLK Service Award!  Each year, the Wakefield Human Rights Commission selects one business, nonprofit or community group that they believe contributes to the community positively.

Come see CSGB’s Amanda Bruce speak about CSGB’s role in the community at the MLK Unity Celebration at the Galvin Middle School on January 16th, 2017 at 10am.

We at CSGB thank you for letting us have the honor of serving your community!

The Wakefield Human Rights Commission is now taking nominations for the MLK Service Award! We encourage you to nominate Counseling Services of Greater Boston as we continue to be honored by serving the Wakefield Community in our fourth year of operation.  CSGB prides itself on offering  compassionate mental health counseling to all through a progressive approach.

Nominate us here!

Counseling Services of Greater Boston opened our Wakefield, MA offices in October, 2012, which means it is officially CSGB’s fourth anniversary!  We are grateful for the opportunities we have had to support the North Shore community, and look forward to the upcoming years of service.  Thank you for your support of us!

On Saturday, September 24th, Counseling Services will be participating in Wakefield’s “Out of the Darkness” walk, for the second year in a row.  Out of the Darkness walks happen around the country, and raise awareness and funds for suicide prevention.  When you donate money or time to this organization you are providing for increased research and education about suicide, and for increased support for those affected by suicide loss.  There is still time to get involved!  Please visit the organization’s website here to join us.
