S.T.A.R. is operated by people who have personal experience facing life’s trials and overcoming challenges associated with mental health, behavioral health and substance use.
Studies show adults who live with mental illness die on average 2 decades earlier than their peer age group. This premature death is often associated with untreated and even preventable illnesses. S.T.A.R. offers mental health and physical health services to strengthen communication, encourage transparency and improve overall wellness.
Peer support programs improve overall health and quality of life, reduce the frequency of psychiatric hospitalizations and shrink service expenses.
S.T.A.R. staff are trained to understand, recognize and respond to each individual and their unique experience with trauma.
S.T.A.R. members participate in operational decisions including the creation and edits to policies, program/service offerings, recovery group topics, community outings and volunteer opportunities.
S.T.A.R. employees complete peer support certification, CPR, First Aid and CPI training, attend monthly staff trainings and perform ongoing industry specific trainings.

STAR has done wonders for my husband's mother. Don't know how we would keep her so entertained without you guys. she attends one of the locations 4 days a week and often goes on outings on Saturdays. We can't get her out this much ourselves with our work schedule. We appreciate all the things Star has done for her and will continue to do for her!
An amazing, caring, loving, safe place to be a part of. Thank you STAR for always having doors open for all of us. Oxox
