The SPARK (Supporting Parents and Resilient Kids) Center in Mattapan, the only program of its kind in New England, provides care for children and families whose lives are affected by medical, emotional, and behavioral challenges. We aim to help the children we serve believe in themselves, make healthy choices, cope with emotional problems, achieve in school, and gain success as adults.
