Community Mental Health
The concept of a community mental health clinic offering home and school-based services was created at the kitchen table in the Sacco's family home in East Boston, MA where Frank and his brother, Jim, were raised. Originally named the Institute as Newton, home and school-based services began to be offered in Boston where CSI still maintains a clinic today. Soon a second location was opened in Springfield, MA and the name of the clinic was eventually changed to Community Services Institute.
