An important component of our work involves gaining a better understanding of the GLBT community in Massachusetts.  To this end, we have worked with others to conduct needs assessments of various populations.  In addition, we have written articles to let others know about our model. 

Below is a sample of our work.  Feel free to use and share this at will.  The more we share what we know, the more we help our communities work towards equality!
