Who We Are

It is every person’s right to be treated with dignity and cared for with compassion.

That is why we dedicate our energy and our resources to providing high quality services such as housing, clinical support, and skills teaching to help people who experience mental health conditions. We offer opportunities for the people we serve to build trusting relationships, improve their quality of life and perhaps most importantly, regain hope that had been lost. We bring respect, openness and honesty to our encounters with clients, families, coworkers and community members.

Since 1968, Gilead has helped transform thousands of lives in Middlesex County, many of whom are your neighbors, friends, and family members. You probably know someone with a mental health condition and don’t even realize it, because 1 in 5 adults in America experience a mental illness.

Continuum of services
Every individual has unique needs and our services are designed to address these needs, and help each person achieve their personal goals. We are creative in designing customized programs and treatment plans that fit the needs of our clients and their families.
