The INTERFACE Referral Service will be closed for the Thanksgiving holiday from Wednesday, 11/24-11/26/21 and will re-open on Monday, 11/29/21. Messages left during this time will not be returned until after the holiday. We wish everyone a happy and healthy Thanksgiving!

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.
