Please note that the William James INTERFACE Referral Service will be operating on a limited schedule to allow our staff to enjoy the holidays. The INTERFACE Referral Service will be open with limited staffing on Monday, 12/23/24, Friday, 12/27/24, and on Monday, 12/30/24. All calls will be returned during these times.

The INTERFACE Referral Service will re-open for our typical hours on Thursday, January 2nd, 2025. We wish everyone a wonderful holiday season and a Happy New Year!

We at the William James College INTERFACE Referral Service are keenly aware of the shortage of mental health providers of color and how racial inequities exist in medical and mental health care. The College’s Black Mental Health Academy, Center for Multicultural and Global Mental Health, and other programs and academic offerings are playing a critical role in reversing this trend. We invite you to read a statement from our Black Mental Health Graduate Academy Scholars, and to stand with us as allies to drive change and address systemic racism.
