Westborough Behavioral Healthcare Hospital

Last night in Somerville, MA, we had the privilege of attending a special screening of PTSD911, a powerful and emotional documentary shedding light on the mental health struggles our First Responders face every day. Conrad Weaver, the film’s producer, was present to share more about his inspiration and the importance of this work. It was an honor to have our own Katelyn Dehey, LMHC, Outpatient Director at Westborough Behavioral Healthcare Hospital, serve on the post-screening panel to provide clinical insight and answer audience questions. This documentary is a call to action, and at WBHH, we are committed to answering that call through our specialized First Responder PHP & IOP Programs, designed to meet the unique needs of those who protect and serve our communities. Thank you to everyone who made this event possible and to all who continue to advocate for accessible, compassionate care for our First Responders.

“When a flower doesn’t bloom, you fix the environment in which it grows, not the flower.” — Alexander Den Heijer Today, we pause. We reflect. We honor. April 2nd is World Autism Awareness Day — a time to celebrate neurodiversity and stand with those on the autism spectrum, especially youth navigating life’s most challenging moments. At Westborough Behavioral Healthcare Hospital, we believe in creating environments that allow every child to thrive — environments built on empathy, structure, and support. We see the strength in every child, the power in every difference, and the beauty in being authentically yourself. #WorldAutismAwarenessDay #AutismAwareness #NeurodiversityInHealthcare #MentalHealthSupport #BehavioralHealthCare #WBHH #InclusionMatters

April is Autism Acceptance Month. At Westborough Behavioral Healthcare Hospital, we believe acceptance goes beyond awareness — it's about creating a safe, supportive environment for every individual. Our recently expanded Special Needs Unit provides acute inpatient care for children and adolescents (ages 5–17) with autism and other developmental disabilities who are experiencing acute behavioral health challenges. Our multidisciplinary team delivers compassionate, individualized treatment in a secure, sensory-friendly setting tailored to their needs.
