Joshua Vafides's Company Details

The Becket Family of Services is an alliance of nonprofit agencies founded in 1964 by Marine Sergeant John J. Wolter Ed. D., with the goal of helping struggling adolescents find a "zest for life" and succeed in the "business of life." Inspired by Dr. Wolter's pragmatic and comprehensive vision, Becket has evolved to serve a range of youth and adults in various settings throughout central and northern New England. Our programs and services include home and community based treatment and support, residential treatment programs, group homes, and special education schools. Becket is known for its ability to achieve successful outcomes with difficult-to-serve individuals. ​Becket is a proud supporter of the Building Bridges Initiative and is guided by the Joint Resolution to Advance a Statement of Shared Core Principles. As an important stakeholder in the system of care, we seek to "advance partnerships amongst residential and community based service providers and the individuals and families we serve." We begin this process by creating an individualized plan for each individual we serve which focuses not only on the care and support we will provide, but also on the transitions that occur during and following their experiences with Becket.
