About Us

Sullivan & Associates was founded in 1982.  The mission then is the same as today: We accept people for who they are and never give up on their potential.  We believe in positive, unconditional regard and provide an environment where acceptance is the only option. 

 "We are committed to you no matter what."  "We always care about you and we want to help you make better decisions, if that is something that you want."  Sullivan & Associates does not reject or "kick people out" for any reason.  Our support is positive and unconditional; we stand by the people we support through thick and thin.  We emphasize the individual, and not the program.  No two residential programs look the same.  "This is my home"; "I make the decisions".

Today, Sullivan & Associates is highly regarded in the Commonwealth for our ability to mobilize quickly on behalf of people we support.  The agency employs over 550 people. We are based in Springfield with satellite offices in Pittsfield and Worcester. Emphasizing longevity, the agency believes that the Direct Support and Program Manager employees are the most valued and highly regarded of the agency.  We work to be flexible and understanding of our employees in the same way we do with the people we support.  The agency views these positions not just as jobs but as careers, and values the people doing the work.
