National Nurses Week is celebrated from May 6 to May 12, 2024, and each year throughout May. This year, the American Nurses Association has selected the theme "Nurses Make the Difference" to encourage nurses, other healthcare professionals, employers, community leaders, and the public to recognize and promote the vast contributions and positive impact of nurses.
We recently spoke with Tiffany Rufino, the Youth Mental Health Coalition Manager at the Public Health Institute of Western Mass, and a member of BHN’s Board of Directors to gain insights on addressing mental health topics.
“Throughout my life, I’ve always worked in community and youth development,” Tiffany says. “I didn’t have a huge background in public health, but I did have experience working and developing youth programs and in high schools with youth in Springfield.”
Congratulations to Anthia T. Elliott, who serves as the Program Director for BHN’s Domestic Violence & P.A.T.C.H.
