Agency Spotlight: Office for Refugees and Immigrants (ORI) Last month (December), we celebrated International Migrants Day to recognize the invaluable contributions of migrants to Massachusetts. We reflect on their resilience to overcome unimaginable struggles during their journey, while actively pursuing peace and opportunities. The Massachusetts Office for Refugees and Immigrants (ORI) is dedicated to ensuring that all immigrants are welcomed to the Commonwealth, achieve success, and are fully included in the economic, civic, and social fabric of Massachusetts. We are here to help them access available services and support them on their path to self-sufficiency. As part of the Executive Office of Health and Human Services (EOHHS), ORI works with a network of providers across the state who serve immigrants and refugees with culturally and linguistically diverse programs that include employment, immigration legal services, case management, health assessment, English language and financial education, and others. These providers of federal and state funded services across the state extend to 43 community-based organizations and resettlement agencies. We coordinate with our partners to promote their successful delivery of direct services to newcomer populations. Their staff either have lived experiences or are trained to meet immigrants and refugees where they are at and provide appropriate support as they navigate their new environment. We are proud to have extended our services in this past year to thousands of immigrants who have chosen our Commonwealth as their new home and are eager to thrive in their new community. To learn more about our constituents' inspiring stories, as well as ORI programs and events, please follow ORI's social media: https://lnkd.in/eiBHMZXU https://lnkd.in/e5hkYk2d https://lnkd.in/eyEqux_e x.com/ORI_XMass

Employee Spotlight: Casey Therrien - Service Coordinator Supervisor Our January Spotlight is on Casey Therrien, who serves as Service Coordinator Supervisor for the Department of Development Services (DDS). Knowledgeable, hardworking, and empathetic, his supervisor Cordero Slash described Casey as "a ray of sunshine for all of us." Casey provides innovative solutions and unwavering support to both his team and the individuals they serve. Casey stepped into his role as Service Coordinator Supervisor in July after serving as a Service Coordinator for two years, bringing his “jack of all trades” mindset to every challenge. In his role, Casey supports his team so they can provide the best possible care to those they serve. Whether celebrating his team’s wins or guiding them through rough patches, he remains a calming presence. Casey’s passion for the work lies in his ability to touch lives and help others do the same. As he says, “My team inspires me every single day.” Outside of work, Casey is just as vibrant. He shares his home with a Shihtzu and a Maine Coon (who happens to be larger than the dog). A devoted gardener, he tends to an indoor garden year-round and is currently growing daisies. Casey also enjoys oil painting, collecting vinyl records, thrifting, and traveling.
