We want to hear from you at our upcoming Meeting the Moment with the Massachusetts Commission on the Status of Persons with Disabilities on July 14th!

These events are an opportunity to sign up for a time to speak about your experiences, challenges, and ideas with navigating disability and housing, employment, transportation, and long-term services, supports, and health equity.

Submit a written version of your statement by July 9th to [email protected] and register at Mass.Gov/MBY/MTM-July

This event will be held in-person and on zoom, followed by snacks, refreshments, and a resource fair, at the Northampton Senior Center at 67 Conz Street.

And that's a wrap! We are incredibly grateful to our employer partners, MassAbility staff, and event planning partner ASG for coming together for one last hiring event before the end of June (and a special thank-you to our hosts at Middlesex Community College in Lowell!)

These hiring events successfully connected job seekers with employers and supported networking and interview skill-building. Our candidates were able to have dedicated, prepared interviews with employers ready to hire.

We are proud of everyone who participated and look forward to promoting more of these opportunities and events in the future as part of our dedication to supporting individuals with disabilities to find meaningful employment.

Turning possibility into progress.

Bear’s Boneyard Recovery was proud to table today at the MassAbility Explore Possibility Summit at the Renaissance Framingham Hotel.

We connected with community leaders, advocates, and partners while sharing our Human Development System (HDS)—bringing together professional navigation, trauma-informed weightlifting, and community integration to help people move beyond recovery and toward lasting resilience.

Thank you to everyone who stopped by our table. Every conversation moves the mission forward.

Beyond recovery. Into reform. Toward human potential.
