• The History of the Samaritan Awards

Since 2003, the ADAPT program has relied on the Suffolk University community for additional assistance in building a caring environment. Samaritan Awards have been granted to students, faculty, staff, administrators, and groups on campus for the purpose of creating and delivering projects, events and activities which:

  • enhance awareness of the signs and symptoms of depression;
  • address issues related to depression prevention or treatment; and
  • display consistency with the goals and vision of ADAPT.

For each academic year, at least three grants, each with a maximum award of $1,000, have been offered. This has been a wonderful opportunity for members of the Suffolk community to share their wisdom, creativity, and energy to develop projects that build on the efforts that have been made in previous years.
