"SPARK is dedicated to the idea that all children, no matter how difficult their circumstances, can be resilient.  No child should be denied access to state-of-the-art, therapeutic care because their needs are too complex or because they lack the ability to pay. SPARK reaches out to Boston's highest risk children and families offering a model of comprehensive care that includes children of all ages and fosters long-term relationships. We want every child to believe in bright possibilities for their future."
