North Quabbin Patch
North Quabbin Patch, a program of Valuing Our Children, is located at 109 Lumber Street, Unit 5, 2nd floor, in Athol, Massachusetts. Patch is not an acronym but a place that means neighborhood. The program opened its doors in 1999, the product of collaboration between Valuing Our Children, the North Quabbin Community Coalition, the Department of Children and Families, the Department of Youth Services, other area service providers, and local residents.
The focus of the program has been to help develop and understand family centered and strength based practice as well as support and enhance continued collaborations among families and providers.
In addition, the program has worked to support the availability of services that have been difficult for families to access.
There are multiple services operating out of 109 Lumber Street, Unit 5 2nd floor:
- Valuing Our Children
Family Advocate
Family Support Worker - Department of Children and Families
- North Quabbin Family Resource Center
- REACH Early Intervention Services
- Department of Youth Services
Mass Rehab, Community Legal Aid, New England Farm Workers and others use the facility on an as needed basis.
The North Quabbin Patch is open Monday through Friday from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM. Call Bette at 978-249-5070 for more information.
