Cambridge Senior Center Town Meeting
We want to hear from you!
This is an opportunity to come together and share information and ideas with Senior Center Staff. We will celebrate January birthdays with cake.
Cambridge Police Department Launches a Co-Response Team
Cambridge Police Department (CPD) launched a co-response program that places a clinician in a cruiser with a police officer to respond to mental health calls. Beginning in August 2024, Officer Qaiss Farazi, aka “Q”, and Co-Response Clinician Bonnie Magee, an employee from North Suffolk Community Services, began responding to mental health calls across the city. The two main goals of co-response are to reduce arrests related to mental health calls and to reduce unnecessary trips to the ER for mental health calls that can potentially be resolved on scene.
Building a Caring Community: Fostering Belonging, Mental Wellness, and Shared Resources (Main)
Join the Cambridge Public Health Department, the Community Safety Department, and the Cambridge Public Library for a panel discussion that aims to raise awareness and community knowledge about how to access national, state, and local resources.

Light refreshments and childcare will be provided. Registration is required.
