Building a Courageous and Resilient Community
What do a retired social worker, a landscaper, a French and social studies teacher, an Air Force heavy equipment operator, a builder and sports enthusiast all have in common?
They each led productive lives until mental illness derailed their journeys.
One person’s life changed after a devastating car accident. Another endured years of childhood abuse. One battled substance use disorder, while another was debilitated by PTSD and Bipolar Disorder. Another struggles with major depressive disorder. These individuals have faced unimaginable challenges—some experiencing homelessness, some cycling through rehab after rehab, and others trapped in abusive situations with no way out.
That was before Human Support Services (HSS) entered their lives.
Not everyone knows it, but you know I am a person!
Today, these individuals are living safe, stable, and hopeful lives, thanks to the comprehensive services they receive, or have received from HSS. From mental health counseling and case management to job coaching and substance use treatment, HSS provides critical support. For many, it’s the first time they’ve truly felt safe or treated with dignity.
These are the lives you’ve changed through your support of HSS. But without your help, where would they be? Still on the streets? Stuck in abusive environments? Or worse? Thankfully, we don’t have to imagine that future—because of donors like you.
This is the first time I’ve been treated with respect and dignity.
Your generosity gives people the opportunity to work again, reconnect with their families, and focus on healing. For some, that means relishing in simple joys—like playing the piano or having a new pair of shoes. One person, who was hospitalized weekly for years, hasn’t seen the inside of a hospital since moving into HSS housing.
Your gift represents safe housing and specialized support and treatment for individuals with serious mental illness—helping them pursue their passions, from trivia to sports to building projects, and most importantly, giving them hope for the future.
