Stabilization Support Services (SSS)
Long-Term Impact Award
“Some of the most meaningful work in any community happens quietly— person to person, life to life— helping people rebuild when the world has given them every reason to give up. This year’s Long-Term Impact Award honors one such effort: Stabilization Support Services, known as SSS, a free program of Special needs Services.”
What is SSS?
Stabilization Support Services (SSS) is a 16-week behavioral health program serving up to 20 adults per cohort in Ray County who are experiencing mental health challenges, co-occurring mental health and substance use disorders, or the effects of trauma. Through individualized counseling, group therapy, and resource coordination, participants receive the support they need to achieve greater stability, independence, and long-term wellness.
