A
Thank
you
so
much
for
being
here
and
and
for
your
patience.
We
had
a
lovely
tour
and
I'm
so
grateful
to
angelica
and
aaliyah
and
catalina
and
corey
and
and
madeline,
and
the
whole
team
here
at
zumix
for
well,
I
guess,
and
the
alums
we
want
to
shout
out
rep,
mataro
and
jessica,
also
for
sharing
a
little
bit
about
what
the
space
and
this
program
has
meant
in
this
community.
A
For
31
years
I'm
told
we
are
here
with
our
newest
member
of
the
city's
team
thinking
about
mental
health
and
this
moment
and
what
we
need
so
you'll
hear
shortly
from
our
new
chief
of
behavioral
health
for
the
city
of
boston,
dr
kevin
simone,
who
was
here
on
the
tour
with
us.
I
want
to
just
ground
us
in
some
of
the
instances
and
experiences
that
we're
seeing
around
mental
health
across
the
city.
A
I
visited
our
911
call
center
a
few
weeks
ago
and
had
the
chance
to
hear
from
the
team
members
there
about
what
the
process
was,
how
they
receive
the
calls,
how
they
transfer
them
for
response
either
to
various
first
responders
or
support
services
and
one
of
the
operators.
I
met
had
worked
in
that
role
for
the
city
for
35
years,
and
she
told
me
that
she
had
never
before
seen
such
intensity
of
calls
coming
in
with
mental
health
challenges.
A
Mental
illness
and
the
severity
and
frequency
were
very
different
from
the
the
decades
that
she
had
worked
before
we're
in
a
moment
of
tremendous
stress.
That's
coming
out
of
the
pandemic,
coming
from
changes
in
our
economy
and
and
the
struggles
with
our
housing
crisis,
with
transportation,
reliability
with
all
the
support
services
that
our
families
need,
that
we
need
to
continue
investing
in,
and
that
is
resulting
in
mental
health
challenges
and
a
growing
incidence
of
mental
illness
across
all
parts
of
our
community.
And
we
see
it
concentrated
in
among
our
young
people
as
well.
A
Dr
simone's
work
focuses
on
the
mental
health
of
young
people
in
particular,
and
we
know
that
our
young
people
have
faced
enormous
disruptions
in
learning
opportunities
for
being
in
person
with
friends
and
peers
in
the
home
and
in
every
aspect
of
their
lives
and
to
address
the
deepening
need
for
mental
health.
Supports
for
youth
here
in
boston.
A
We
have
already
worked
to
place
a
social
worker
in
every
boston,
public
schools
and
to
increase
the
support
services
for
social
and
emotional
health
directly
through
our
school
system,
but
we
need
to
do
a
lot
more
in
collaboration
with
the
boston,
public,
health,
commission
and
local
partners.
There
are
incredible
examples
all
across
our
city
of
work
and
services
and
community,
that's
being
built
that
directly
supports
and
strengthens
the
mental
health
of
our
young
people.
A
Organizations
like
zumix
recognize
the
arts
as
a
powerful
vehicle
for
self-expression
community
building
and
strengthening
social
and
emotional
well-being.
Music
has
been
shown
to
decrease
depression,
to
boost
self-esteem,
reduce
the
symptoms
of
ptsd
and
young
people,
and
I
feel
this
very
keenly
to
this
day
when
I'm
stressed
about
something
happening
in
the
office
or
in
city
hall.
I'll
go
over
to
the
piano,
that's
in
the
corner
and
and
just
play
for
a
little
bit.
A
It's
not
one
more
box
to
check,
or
one
other
thing
to
think
about,
and
the
impact
that
that
can
have
when
we
see
and
value
and
lift
up
the
entirety
of
our
our
humanity.
The
entirety
of
our
young
people
as
whole,
children
and
and
human
beings
there's
so
much
that
lasts
far
beyond
their
time,
physically
in
these
spaces
or
in
these
programs
or
or
connecting
to
the
services
that
are
being
offered.
A
I'm
also
grateful
to
be
here
with
my
colleagues
in
government
partners
on
the
council
at
large
councillors,
ruthie
louisian
and
aaron
murphy,
who
have
been
champions
for
this
work,
and
our
budget
at
the
city
level
has
made
possible
the
addition
of
a
new
office
of
chief
chief
behavioral
officer,
as
well
as
more
investments
that
we
will
continue.
Discussions
on
around
arpa
and
the
federal
funding
that
we
can
put
to
good
use
and
at
the
state
level,
representative
adrian
mataro
has
been
one
of
our
state's
biggest
champions
of
mental
health.
A
Building
a
city
for
everyone
means
creating.
The
ecosystem
supports
the
environment
for
everyone
in
our
city
to
thrive
physically
emotionally
and
as
community
members.
It's
a
big
undertaking,
one
that
will
require
all
of
us
to
work
together
to
continue
to
pass
legislation,
support
and
partner
with
our
community
organizations.
A
A
A
So,
thank
you
so
much
for
joining
us.
I
would
like
to
pass
it
over
to
my
colleagues
in
government
to
say
a
few
words
and
then,
if
our
tour
guides
want
to
contribute
also
we
would
we
would
love
you
to
to
add
something
at
the
end,
but
first
introducing
our
incredible
new
chief
behavioral
officer,
dr
kevin
simon.
B
B
And
how
can
we
partner
with
school
systems
such
that
you
know
they
have
social
workers
in
every
classroom
or
in
every
school?
How
are
those
social
workers
being
supported
with
regards
to
the
number
of
students
that
they're
undoubtedly
going
to
see?
So
I
think
this
is
an
incredible
opportunity
and
if
there's
a
particular
city,
that's
primed,
to
be
able
to
figure
out
how
to
enhance
and
strengthen
the
mental
health
system,
it
would
be
boston.
B
I
think
zoom
x
is
just
a
prime
example
of
what
exists
and
how
we
need
to
be
doing
more
for
our
youth,
which
is
really
to
say
that
we
need
to
be
doing
more
for
our
families
such
that
we
can
have
a
decrease
in
the
number
of
individuals
experiencing
anxiety
experiencing
depression.
Having
long
wait
times
in
hospitals,
they
could
be
expressing
themselves
via
music
in
safe
spaces,
like
some
of
the
the
tour
guides
told
us,
and
it
can
start
as
early
as
8
years
old,
10
years
old.
B
C
D
D
I
want
to
thank
my
colleagues
in
government,
our
city
councilors,
our
mayor
for
having
the
foresight
to
create
this
new
position
to
create
a
chief
of
behavioral
health
for
the
city
at
a
time
when
behavioral
health
issues,
which
were
bad
before
the
pandemic,
but
have
only
worsened
since
the
pandemic.
It's
really
showing
where
this
city
is
prioritizing
our
resources
and
that's
in
the
mental
health,
the
behavioral
health
and
well-being
of
our
residents.
I
want
to
congratulate
and
welcome
dr
simone,
who
is
going
to
be
an
incredible
fit
for
our
city
at
the
state
house.
D
I
think
it's
apt
that
we're
here
at
a
youth
services
organization
in
east
boston
here
at
zumix,
because
one
of
the
focal
points
of
that
legislation
was
youth,
behavioral,
health
and
school-based
behavioral
health.
In
addition
to
redoubling
our
efforts
to
uplift
and
support
community-based
services
places
like
zumix,
as
I
mentioned,
you
know
we
were
in
a
mental
health
crisis
before
the
pandemic,
but
for
youth.
As
dr
simone
noted,
it
has
been
particularly
acute.
D
It's
been
described
as
a
cliff
for
mental
health
that
youth
are
about
to
fall
off
of
so
this
could
not
be
more
timely
for
us
to
tackle
legislation
like
this
for
up
for
us
to
be
uplifting.
Amazing
youth
programming,
like
zumix,
which
has
for
decades
offered
safe
places
for
east
boston
residents,
young
people
to
come,
make
friends,
be
themselves,
have
positive
adult
role
models
and,
of
course,
learn.
Music
learn
to
play.
D
Again
as
we're
focusing
on
youth,
behavioral
health
on
school-based
health
and,
of
course,
on
community-based
programs
like
the
one
we
have
here
at
zumix
and
without
further
ado,
I
think
madeline,
oh
right,
our
colleagues
in
office
I'll
turn
it
over
to
at-large
city
councilor,
aaron
murphy.
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
E
I
don't
know
I
want
a
little
help.
Thank
you
good
morning,
everyone.
How
are
you
so?
I
want
to
thank
our
state,
rep
adrian
mataro,
for
inviting
us
here
and
welcoming
us
here
to
east
boston
and
also
to
zumix.
I
took
my
first
tour
and
thank
you
for
over
three
decades,
and
you
know
it's
not
just
about
the
music
right
you're
supporting
our
youth
in
so
many
ways.
E
So
thank
you
for
that,
and
I'm
also
here
as
the
at-large
city
councilor
and
I'm
the
chair
of
public
health,
mental
health
and
homelessness,
and
the
first
order
I
filed
on
the
city
council
was
to
address
the
youth
mental
health
crisis
in
our
city.
The
second
order
I
filed
was
to
address
the
lack
of
investment.
Our
public
schools
spend
on
athletics
after
school
programming
and
arts,
music
and
theater.
E
We
know
that
we're
only
spending
78
dollars
per
student
when
we
have
a
26,
27
000
per
student
funding,
so
something
we're
going
to
continue
to
advocate
for
also
the
as
all
most
of
us
here
know.
The
american
academy
of
child
and
adolescent
psychiatry
in
pediatrics
have
declared
a
national
emergency
for
children
in
mental
health.
E
As
a
bps
teacher
for
over
20
years
and
a
mom
for
33
years,
I
know
firsthand
that
the
mental
health
challenges
that
our
children
were
facing
before
the
pandemic
were
of
great
concern.
This
pandemic
has
only
intensified
these
concerns,
as
it
continues
to
take
an
alarming
toll
on
our
children's
mental
health.
What
started
as
an
infectious
disease
we
know
has
evolved
into
a
mental
health
crisis
for
our
youth
and
continue
because
they
continue
to
face
isolation,
fear
stress
at
school
and
home
and
also
grief
and
there's
also
ongoing
uncertainty.
E
E
As
our
new
chief
of
behavioral
health
knows,
we
have
a
huge
increase
in
mental
health
emergencies
for
our
children,
and
I
do
just
want
to
highlight
that
our
families,
caregivers
schools,
community,
centers,
faith-based
organizations,
health,
centers
and
hospitals
are
caring
for
our
young
people,
with
soaring
rates
of
depression,
anxiety,
trauma,
loneliness
and
suicidality
that
will
have
lasting
impacts
on
them
for
generations
and
their
families.
So
I
do
want
to
say
that
I'm
committed
on
the
council
to
work
along
with
the
mayor,
my
colleagues
at
the
state
also
to
continue
to
advocate
for
spaces
like
this.
E
A
lot
of
the
conversations
in
the
opera
funding,
also,
which
is
a
once-in-a-lifetime
investment,
and
I'm
so
happy
that
the
administration
mayor
wu
was
also
committed
to
making
sure
we're
supporting
non-profits
across
the
city
that
are
already
doing
this
great
work
with
our
youth
with
our
mental
health
and
addressing
that.
So
thank
you
for
having
me
here
today
and
I
continue
looking
forward
to
continue
to
working
with
everyone.
F
Hello:
everyone,
buenos
dias,
attorneys,
bonjour
moon.
My
name
is
ruth
luigen
at
large
city
councilor,
and
I'm
really
excited
to
be
here
because
I've
heard
so
much
about
zoo
mix
from
red
mater
from
so
many
people
that
to
have
this
opportunity
to
tour
angelica.
Thank
you
for
the
tour
was
really
phenomenal
to
learn
that
we
have
youth
organizations
that
are
that
are
really
empowering
our
young
people
to
to
really
dive
into
the
arts
and
to
to
see
how
the
arts
can
be
healing.
I
think
corey
said
it
really
wonderfully
when
he
said
you
know.
F
I
I
work
here,
but
it's
not
really
to
teach
the
students
it's
to
work
alongside
them
and
to
really
empower
them
and
to
work
with
them,
and
so
that
should
be
our
work
all
the
time
whenever
we're
working
with
young
people,
because
they
so
much
to
teach
us.
I
benefited
when
I
was
14
years
old
from
a
youth
organization
that
really
changed
my
life
and
it
sounds
like
zumix
does
that
every
day
here?
So
I'm
really
grateful.
F
I'm
grateful
for
the
work
of
rep
moderator
and
addressing
our
mental
health
challenges,
grateful
for
the
work
of
our
mayor
and
I'm
incredibly
excited
that
dr
simone
is
on
as
our
new
chief
in
the
city,
because
we
know
that,
as
everyone
has
stated,
already,
the
problems
in
our
communities.
Our
commute
are
acute,
especially
in
our
black
and
brown
communities,
where
there's
access
issues
where
there
are
issues
of
mistrust
and
distrust
when
it
comes
to
our
our
health
system
and
so
having
folks
in
positions
of
power
that
look
like
them.
F
That
know
that
our
doctors
that
know
the
challenges
and
that
are
addressing
them
head-on,
incredibly
excited
to
have
you
here
as
our
city,
to
have
another
haitian
person
to
really
you
know
it's
as
someone
who
is
haitian
our
community.
Really,
you
know
it's
always
a
toss-up
when
you're
trying
to
convince
people
to
seek
help
for
mental
health
issues
right.
F
You
know,
oftentimes
think
that
church
can
solve
the
problem,
and-
and
while
that
can
be
one
of
the
solutions,
we
also
have
therapy,
and
we
also
have
doctors,
and
we
also
people
are
trained
to
address
these
issues.
So
I'm
encouraged.
I'm
a
bps
student
and
bps
grad,
my
guidance
counselor
changed
my
life,
and
so
one
of
the
things
that
I've
been
advocating
for
is
increasing
the
number
of
guidance
counselors
to
to
for
to
round
out
these
services
that
we
provide
our
young
people
as
they
face
these
health
crisis,
this
health
crisis.
F
A
C
Hi
everyone,
my
name,
is
angelica
munoz
and
I
work
here
as
a
teen
staff
council.
I
have
been
in
multiple
programs.
I've
been
here
since
around
2017,
2018
and
zoomix
has
shaped
so
many
people's
lives,
not
just
mine.
I
feel
like
that.
Zumix
has
helped
both
mental
health
issues
and
just
someone
normal
because
everyone's
normal,
but
I
feel
like
sometimes
we
all
need
that
support.
We
need
someone
like
a
friend
or
a
family
member.
Even
if
they're,
not
family
or
you
don't
really
know
them
come
into
zumix
and
they'll
be
there
for
you.
C
If
you
need
anything,
they'll
be
oh
they're
always
have
a
helping
hand
for
you.
Do
mix
has
so
many
programs,
including
music
singing
classes,
even
a
band.
They
have
so
many
classes
that
can
encourage
you
to
grow
your
confidence.
They
set
you
up
to
go
on
a
stage
they
grow.
They
get
rid
of
your
stage
fright
which,
when
I
came
here,
I
was
actually
really
scared
because
I
didn't
know
many
people
here.
C
I
am
now
pretty
like
well
known
around
the
people
around
here
and
I
know
most
of
the
people
here,
which
I
am
glad,
even
though
I
am
one
of
the
youngest
here.
I
am
the
youngest
on
the
teen
council
and
I'm
youngest
for
most
of
my
programs,
but
I'm
glad
to
be
here
for
over
I'd,
say
three
or
four
years.
C
It's
just
been
a
really
nice
experience
and,
if
I'm
being
honest,
if
you're
sorry,
if
you're
a
youth
from
like
the
ages
of
like
seven
all
the
way
to
like
18,
I
suggest
you
come
here
because
maybe
take
one
semester
at
least
see
how
you
like
it,
because
the
programs
here
just
can
change
your
life
with
just
a
few
hours
of
coming
a
week,
and
I
feel
like
zoo
makes,
is
just
such
an
empowering
like
organization
that
can
change
your
life
or
someone
else's
life,
which
is
just
something
very
inspirational.
So
thank
you.
G
H
It's
so
funny
hi,
I'm
madeline
staccinski,
I'm
the
co-founder
and
executive
director
of
zumix
been
working
on
this
crazy
project
for
31
years,
and
it's
a
real
honor
to
be
here
today
with
all
of
our
elected
officials
and
passionate
community
members
alumni
both
on
our
staff
and
also
on
your
staff,
very
exciting,
to
see
the
intersection
of
so
many
people
really
trying
to
do
what's
right
for
community
on
many
levels
and
collaborating
across
various
sectors.
So
I'm
excited
about
that.
H
I'm
also
saying
it's
so
interesting
that
we
didn't
have
to
mention
music
and
the
arts,
but
it's
embedded
in
everything
that
we
do,
and
so
we
don't
sit
around
talking
about
mental
health
on
a
regular
basis
or
even
talking
about
leadership
on
a
regular
basis.
We
do
projects
together,
we
do
creative
artistic,
we
write
songs
together
we
perform
together,
we
do
videos
together,
we
do
radio
together,
we
go
out
in
the
community
and-
and
you
know,
provide
services
for
folks
in
the
community
and
in
doing
that,
we
learn
about
each
other.
H
We
get
skills,
we
become
assets
to
our
neighbors
and
to
our
friends
and
we
become
family.
So
it's
wonderful
to
have
you
all
here
today.
I
will
say
that
music
and
the
arts
are
incredibly
life-changing
powerful
modes
of
communication
modes
of
work
and,
in
fact,
are
a
really
important
part
of
the
economy
in
boston
and
as
we
look
to
the
future,
I
really
want
to
see
every
one
of
our
alumni
getting
paid
to
do
something
that
they
love
and
that
they're
passionate
about,
and
that's
the
the
path
that
we're
on
this
is.
H
This
is
really
about
creative
workplace
development
or
workforce
development,
and
we
are
very
very
committed
to
opening
those
doors
of
opportunity.
We
already
did
an
introduction
today
that
might
get
one
of
our
alumni,
at
least,
like
you
know,
thinking
about
new
jobs
and
really
excited
about
that.
So
thank
you
all
for
being
here
today.
H
If
you
want
to
see
a
big
slice
of
our
community
in
action,
show
up
on
sunday
for
walk
for
music,
which
then
folds
right
into
the
first
kickoff
of
easty
week,
which
is
an
incredible
two
and
a
half
week,
celebration
here
in
east
boston,
with
all
sorts
of
organizations
really
highlighting
and
showcasing
how
this
community
holds
together,
especially
during
difficult
times.
So
it's
an
honor
to
have
you
all
here.
Thank
you
all
and
listen
to
some
music,
listen
to
zumix
radio,
94.9,
fm
and
and
enjoy
your
day
thanks.
A
Inspired
by
aleah's
plug
for
this
weekend,
there's
also
an
event
on
saturday
that
the
boston
public
health
commission
is
hosting
a
family
fun
day
at
harambe
park
and
okay,
dr
simon
tells
me
11
to
3
this
saturday
in
harambe
park.
So
we
want
to
see
you
come
out
and
connect
it
to
some
resources,
while
also
having
a
good
time
questions
for
dr
simone
or
anyone
up
here
on
mental
health
on
this
organization.
If
you
have
off-topic
questions
I'll,
take
them
afterwards
on
the
side.
