PITTSFIELD, Mass. — Berkshire Health Systems welcomes Fadi Halabi, MD, a specialist in Child and Adolescent Psychiatry, to the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Health at Berkshire Medical Center.

At a time when there is a severe nationwide deficit of mental health providers specializing in the care of children and adolescents, Dr. Halabi's expertise will be of great value to patients and families in our Berkshire community.

Dr. Halabi received his medical degree from the American University of Beirut in Lebanon. He completed his residency in General Psychiatry and a fellowship in Child and Adolescent Psychiatry at Washington University/Barnes Jewish Hospital in St. Louis.

At BMC, Dr. Halabi diagnoses and treats a wide range of concerns in children and adolescents including:

Anxiety
Depression
Trauma-related disorders
ADHD
Autism spectrum disorders
Eating disorders
Disruptive behaviors

He also provides psychiatric management to youth that require long-term treatment through the Brien Center.

Describing his approach to patient care, Dr. Halabi said, "I work in partnership with young people and their families to recognize the biological, psychological, and social factors contributing to their concerns.

"My approach to treatment planning is personalized and relies on early collaboration with families, schools, healthcare providers, and other systems involved in each child's care," he said.

In his free time, Dr. Halabi enjoys dancing, live music, and card games with friends. He enjoys trying new cuisines and improving his own cooking skills. He looks forward to exploring more of the beauty of the Berkshires.

Pittsfield's Christian Center Announces Community Day, 'Big News'

PITTSFIELD, Mass.— After collecting community input about a potential new name and programming opportunities, the Christian Center says it will make a big announcement this summer.

The nonprofit plans to unveil "big news" during its annual Community Day on Aug. 22, Executive Director Jessica Jones told the Homelessness Advisory Committee on Wednesday.

To accommodate different work schedules, Monday through Friday pantry hours were extended to include the second and fourth Saturday of every month; the pantry and lunch open from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m.

"Having some Saturday availability, we're hoping, is going to be helpful for those whose work schedules don't allow for weekday visits to the pantry," Jones said.

"And we also know that more and more working people are having to make tough decisions about whether or not they spend their money on food or gas or rent or any of the other things that they have to make decisions about."

HAC Chair Kim Borden said the Saturday hours are very exciting.

"And I love your thinking on that, because you're right, limited hours when folks are working and picking up kiddos from daycare, there isn't always enough time," she added.

The Christian Center was incorporated in 1974, but it dates back to the early 1890s, when it was the Epworth Mission, founded by the Methodist Church.
