Who We Serve
We serve everyone of any race, gender identity, ethnicity, religion, spiritual beliefs, physical and intellectual difference, and age. Services are free of charge. Our primary focus is the people of Stokes County but residents from surrounding counties are welcome as well.
Individuals with a mental health and/or substance use disorder diagnosis or those who experience pain or difficulty with behavior, emotion, or destructive thinking (and their families) are invited to attend group support and to ask for one to one peer support, attend educational classes, and find a safe place to talk. We also make referrals to psychiatrists, hospitals, doctors, and other local services.
