Wellness is about more than physical health—it's about caring for our mental, emotional, and social well-being, too.

RHD is driven by the belief that everyone deserves access to the support, resources, and connections that help them thrive.

This August, we encourage you to check in with yourself, check in with those around you, and remember that seeking support is a sign of strength. Taking time to rest, practicing self-care, supporting each other in building healthier habits, and celebrating "progress over perfection" are great steps along the way.

Together, we can build healthier, stronger communities—one act of care at a time. 💙

July is Minority Mental Health Awareness Month, a time dedicated to highlighting the distinct mental health challenges faced by Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC), addressing systemic barriers in care, and breaking the stigma within these communities.

Mental health affects us all, but access to culturally responsive care, resources, and support is not always equal. This month, we recognize the importance of creating safe spaces for conversation, advocating for equitable mental health services, and amplifying the voices and experiences of historically underserved communities.

Together, we can foster understanding, reduce stigma, and ensure that everyone has the opportunity to prioritize their mental well-being.

If you or someone you know is struggling, reaching out for support is a sign of strength.

Call the NAMI HelpLine at 800-950-6264, text “NAMI” to 62640, or email at [email protected]. In a crisis, call or text 988 (24/7) to reach the 988 Su***de & Crisis Lifeline.

Happy Fourth of July from Resources for Human Development!

Today, we celebrate the spirit of freedom, opportunity, compassion, and service that brings our communities together.

As our nation reaches 250 years since the signing of the Declaration of Independence, we reflect on the many ways human services have helped turn these values into action — supporting individuals, strengthening families, and building more inclusive communities where everyone has the opportunity to thrive.

At RHD, we are proud to carry that spirit forward through work rooted in dignity, inclusion, respect, compassion, and self-determination.

We are grateful for our staff, participants, partners, volunteers, donors, advocates, and neighbors who make this mission possible every day.

Wishing you a safe, joyful, and meaningful Independence Day!

July is Disability Pride Month—a time to celebrate the strength, diversity, achievements, and contributions of people with disabilities.

At RHD, we believe that every person deserves to be valued, included, and empowered to participate fully in their community.

Through person-centered programs, RHD supports persons with disabilities by promoting independence, dignity, choice, and community inclusion. Across our services, this includes intellectual and developmental disabilities supports, residential and lifesharing opportunities, in-home and community-based supports, vocational and creative arts programming, behavioral health services, assistive technology, and partnerships that help individuals build skills, strengthen connections, and live more self-directed lives.

This month, we honor the disability community, recognize the ongoing work toward inclusion, and support one another in creating a world where everyone can thrive.

Join us in celebrating Disability Pride Month and helping build more inclusive communities every day.

On Father's Day, we honor fathers, stepfathers, grandfathers, foster fathers, father figures, and all caregivers who provide care, guidance, support and love in their families and communities. We also hold space for those who may find this day difficult—for those who are missing a loved one or carrying complex experiences.

Families come in many forms, and every caring adult who helps a child feel safe, valued, and supported makes a meaningful difference.

Happy Father's Day to all who nurture, encourage, and help build stronger families and communities.💙

On Autistic Pride Day, RHD celebrates the strengths, perspectives, talents, and contributions of autistic people/people with Autism Spectrum Disorder.

Today, we honor neurodiversity and the many ways people think, learn, communicate, and experience the world. We recognize that we are all unique, we are all on our own journeys, and we are all great contributors in defining what it means to be human. At RHD, we respect the dignity and worth of each individual.

We embrace and encourage feeling pride for the infinite possibilities that make each of us who we are and the infinite possibilities of humans—for growth, innovation, connection, deeper understanding, and a more inclusive future.

Kevin Norton has been RHD Boston's maintenance person for more than 20 years. Over those 20+ years, Kevin has been consistently reliable, honest, hardworking, flexible, and dedicated. His contributions—while not always visible—keep the program running...literally.

Kevin's willingness to take on maintenance tasks and deal with problems is unwavering. Often working alone, he will contort himself into small spaces and duck into dark corners of basements to get any job done right. He does his research to find solutions that are cost-effective and efficient. He knows his skillset and knows when he should ask for help.

Kevin's contributions to the program go beyond maintenance. His kindhearted personality and dedication to his work have landed him a place in everyone's hearts and earned him respect from his peers. He is known by everyone in the RHD Boston community and beyond through the partnerships he has fostered with outside vendors and contractors.

We tip our hats to Kevin and all the facilities employees out there. Thank you for what you do!
