BeHeart Center’s mission is to provide compassionate, culturally responsive, and accessible mental health support for individuals and families of all ages.
Through counseling, emotional wellness services, education, and community-based support, we help people strengthen resilience, improve well-being, and feel heard, valued, and cared for.
WHY "BEHEART"?
The name BeHeart reflects our commitment to whole-person wellness, recognizing that well-being includes physical, emotional, and spiritual health.
HEART represents five core elements inspired by positive psychology:
H – Hopeful: Cultivating optimism and hope for the future.
E – Enthusiastic: Embracing life with energy, purpose, and engagement.
A – Able: Recognizing strengths and building confidence and capability.
R – Resilient: Developing the ability to adapt, cope, and grow through challenges.
T – Thankful: Practicing gratitude and appreciating life's meaningful moments.
At BeHeart, we believe that nurturing these qualities helps individuals and families build resilience, strengthen emotional well-being, and lead more fulfilling lives.
ORGANIZATION HISTORY
The BeHeart Center is the behavioral health division of the Greater Boston Chinese Golden Age Center (GBCGAC), a nonprofit organization that has been serving Asian older adults since 1972 through culturally sensitive and linguistically appropriate programs and services.
Building on this longstanding commitment to community care, the BeHeart Center extends GBCGAC’s mission by supporting the mental and emotional well-being of individuals and families of all ages through accessible, compassionate, and culturally responsive behavioral health services.
