Description

Please join Ana Artavia-Speight, Community Relations at the Massachusetts Behavioral Health Help Line, who will share all the resources they have to offer. This will be a general overview, and if you have questions you’d like her to address, please feel free to submit them ahead of time.

Presenter: Ana Artavia-Speight.  Ana Artavia Speight is a Community Relations Representative (CRR) for the Massachusetts Behavioral Health Help Line (BHHL) focusing on the Central Massachusetts community. A CRR since pre-launch in December 2022, Ana brings extensive experience in the human services field and has worked as a domestic violence advocate in community-based services for the YWCA, which reaches one of the largest networks of domestic violence service providers in the country. In this role, she provided survivors with prevention education and workshops, while also engaging with numerous community initiatives. 

Ana brings a wealth of knowledge about the Central Massachusetts community and the partnerships she has developed over the years are an asset to her current work with the BHHL. Bilingual in Spanish and English, Ama was born and raised in San Jose, Costa Rica, and moved to the United States as a 10-year-old. She is passionate about helping families in the community, and channels that same enthusiasm into her family life, maintaining a close relationship with her children and grandchildren. Outside of work, Ana enjoys spending time with family and loves volunteering with the underserved communities.

This registration is for all Connecting Families presentations. You do not need to register for each one separately.
