Boston Services for Trauma and Resources for Families (STAR)

Our goal is to develop, enhance and strengthen the ability of children and their families to reduce their trauma related symptoms and live fulfilling lives

The Boston Services for Trauma And Resources (STAR) program is dedicated to providing mental health services to children and adolescent patients who have experienced traumatic events. We provide evidence-based trauma treatment that is individualized for each patient’s needs, challenges, strengths, and goals. Our team works closely with children and adolescents, their families, and schools and community to enhance supports, reduce trauma symptoms, enhance well-being. Treatment through Boston STAR may occur via telehealth or in-person at Boston Medical Center, as clinically appropriate and accessible to the family, and can include referrals for additional clinical supports as indicated. 

Boston STAR Services are available to children and adolescents who receive medical care at BMC or one of our affiliated community health centers.

If your child receives care elsewhere, please contact your pediatrician for referrals to behavioral health supports.
