Bevin Croft

I live on the West End of Watertown with my partner and two kids who attend Cunniff Elementary.

I hold a masters and doctorate in social policy and direct the behavioral health team at the Human Services Research Institute where I conduct research and provide technical assistance for disability, mental health, and addiction treatment systems.

In my work, I am interested in person-centered practices that promote self-determination and seek to elevate the voices of people with disabilities and others who've been historically left out of system-level decision making. In previous roles, I oversaw the human rights program for a large psychiatric rehabilitation organization in the Boston area and served as a Human Rights Commissioner in the city of Cambridge.

In my personal and professional life, I am interested in creating opportunities for transformative growth and dismantling inequities in communities and systems..
