Purpose
At its core, BAMSI is about building connections with people and services. A key component of BAMSI’s philosophy is helping the people we serve build supportive relationships with peers, neighbors, and friends in the community. With an emphasis on respect and affirming the dignity of the individual, BAMSI helps the people we serve to learn, grow, and thrive in four main areas:
BAMSI Home provides caring, individualized, and comprehensive support to individuals with developmental, intellectual, or psychological disabilities, traumatic brain injuries, or other challenges that make independent living difficult.
BAMSI Kids provides support for children from birth through adulthood via an integrated array of services, addressing physical, emotional, intellectual, and social development.
BAMSI Community breaks down barriers to access and provides safe spaces for individuals and families to access the support they need.
BAMSI Health provides caring, individualized, comprehensive care to individuals and families struggling with health related challenges including mental illness, substance use disorders, HIV/AIDS, and other complex diagnoses.
