Those We Serve: Maya's Story

May 14, 2024

According to a recent survey, 45% of young people in Western Mass have reported experiencing depressive symptoms - feeling so sad or hopeless almost every day for two weeks in a row that they stopped doing usual activities.*


Maya's story illustrates the transformative impact that support from Behavioral Health Network can provide. Maya was so down on herself that her mother feared the worst. But through BHN's comprehensive support, Maya and her family accessed vital services and guidance, steering their lives towards a brighter, more hopeful path.
