I would not have gotten out of my old lifestyle without this program. I had no one in my life willing to help me. This program lifted me up and supported me when I had nowhere else to go. I owe this program my life.
Nicole R, regarding MH Court and Region funded services
I started working with (SC) Kris 1.5 years ago, and at that time I was living with my parents. I’m now living in my own place and running my own pottery business. I appreciate all the work service coordination has done for me
Rob has a Traumatic Brain Injury and needs assistance in knowing what services are available and help with time management and paperwork.
Call! They do not judge. They help put lives back together and help keep them together. If it wasn’t for these regional service coordinators, I know I would be dead or back in prison. All I can say is thank you! Call!
