 Northnode's
mission is to ensure the provision and receipt of high quality and
innovative health and human services.
- We provide training and support to community-based
nonprofits and to the government agencies that oversee health and human
services.
- We advocate for people in need of health and human services, especially
those in need of caring and effective guardians.
- We offer supportive services to individuals in the helping professions.
The transformative power of service guides Northnode's work. Our front line experience in the world of public service and our progressive
approaches to human service management are integrated with systems of thought, spiritual traditions, and forms of expression that link the universal desire for connection to the path of service.
We work with the ethical teachings of Buddhism that invite us, through the principle of wise livelihood, to examine the ways we earn our living. We use the mandala—Sanskrit
word for circle—as a symbol of the interdependence of all beings. We draw on the language of astrology, in which the north node of the moon attunes us to our life purpose, suggesting new strategies for personal and professional growth.
We apply these and similar approaches in all our work, whether we are helping individuals obtain
quality and caring human services, partnering with institutions in the development and evaluation of innovations in human services, training direct service providers in best-practice approaches to human services, or helping people discover renewed energy in their chosen fields and work places.
Northnode is happy to be sharing office space with like-minded colleagues who offer valuable services to the community: Karen Kirchoff Acupuncture and Herbs (617-522-3990), Siura Wellness Group, and Encuentro Diaspora Afro.
