New Perspectives is a program unit within the Division of Career Services (DCS). The unit is comprised of clinical consultants who have served thousands of employed and dislocated workers throughout Massachusetts. We provide services that help to eliminate barriers, improve employability and maximize the potential for all customers of the One-Stop Career Centers; inclusive of dislocated workers and disadvantaged populations, as well as front-line staff and managers of the centers.

Each member of the team has obtained an advanced degree (Master’s or Doctoral), and is licensed at the highest level afforded them in their respective mental health disciplines. Each Consultant adheres to defined standards for professional practice and has access to a wealth of information from the New Perspectives statewide team of consultants. DCS provides centralized supervision and administration of the program.

The New Perspectives team is comprised of highly trained seasoned clinical consultants who bring many years of professional experience to the table from a variety of traditional and non-traditional working environments. This clinical group also brings advanced level skills in the areas of psychotherapy with diverse populations, training and curriculum development, coaching and consultation. Members of the team also bring advanced level training, credentialing and certifications from a variety of specialty skill areas, such as crisis intervention, substance abuse, domestic violence, cultural diversity, MBTI, EAP and organizational development, supervision, program management, workplace safety and violence prevention.
