The Health and Disability Working Group has engaged in a wide variety of research, training and policy projects on health services for people with disabilities of all ages. Our interests span the spectrum of disability and chronic illness, and include medical, behavioral health, support, and long-term care services. Our primary focus is on low income and disenfranchised populations. We have a special interest in service delivery systems that address the needs of individuals with multiple chronic conditions, and minority populations.

PEACE GAMES imagines a world where every child has the skills, knowledge, supportive relationships, and opportunities to prevent violence and build safer communities. A world where individuals and institutions believe in the power of young people and that violence – in all of its forms – can be prevented. Peace Games believes that this goal is best achieved by building the capacity of schools and community groups to implement holistic, peace and justice education programs. The Peace Games curriculum is currently being taught in seven Boston and Cambridge elementary schools.
