Friends, supporters and officials were invited on April 4, 2014 to Stanley Street Treatment and Resources (SSTAR) for an open house and tours of the new Open Access Primary and Behavioral Healthcare Clinics. With its "no appointment necessary" model, SSTAR will provide assessments, individual and group counseling on a walk-in basis at the Stanley Street facility. Board Member Senator Michael Rodrigues, and State Representatives Carole Fiola and Alan Silva joined Health and Human Services Director Dr. Henry Vaillancourt, City Councilor Jasiel Correia and Board President Marilyn Rodrigues for a brief welcome. In addition, Eurasia Foundation Director of US-Russia Social Expertise Exchange Laurens Ayvazian praised the innovative approach to treatment that he hoped to see replicated in Russia where Ms. Paull has been consulting over the past decade.
