Opportunities. Second Chances. Choices. Bright Starts. That's what we do here.
Second Chances
For the first time in decades, the road Olivia is on is a good one. It wasn’t easy to get here, and she didn’t do it alone. After years of struggling with substance abuse and mental health concerns, she came to Human Support Services ready to make positive change.
Opportunities
For Shawn and Charlie, their jobs at Walmart are about so much more than just a paycheck. For the two of them, their positions at the local store represent independence, opportunity and growth. Better still, it means they can play a role in a larger, more diverse community.
Bright Starts
By the time Morgan started counseling at HSS at age 10, she had been moved from home to home, and from one foster family to the next. But over the next several years, her bond with her counselor would help a withdrawn girl blossom into an outgoing, caring young woman.
