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.

Mental Health Topics

Weymouth was founded in 1622 as the Wessagusset colony. It was renamed Weymouth in 1635 after a community in England where many settlers had come from. For a large part of it's history, Weymouth was a fishing and agricultural community, which then evolved into a manufacturing hub for shoes. Today Weymouth is a residential suburb located just south of Boston.
