The Wayside Mission


Wayside is dedicated to achieving the
highest standards of quality and integrity
in providing leading edge counseling,
family support, residential and
educational services for building strength,
hope and resiliency in youth, families and
communities throughout Massachusetts.


Who we are

Parent Partners and Parent Coordinators
are themselves parents of emotionally
challenged/mentally ill children.  We advocate
for programs, treatment, and policies that
enable families to live in their communities
in an environment of stability and respect.
