Committed 100 Men Helping Boys DBA: Rising Stars Behavior Health, a 501 © 3 Non-Profit Organization in Las Vegas, Nevada since 1990 is a recipient of State of Nevada Community Recovery Grant for the next 2 years.
The focus of the grant is to provide free counseling and therapy services that will address the barriers of suicide and suicide thoughts, anxiety, panic attack, trauma, depression and social withdrawals during the pandemic targeting youth, adults and families from diverse low -income demographics in the following zip codes: 89101, 89106, 89031, 89032 and 89115.
“We are honored to receive the grant as it means we now have the ability to expand mental health counseling and therapy services at the same time inflation makes operations more costly” said, Mike Waller, Program Manager and Counselor. “This grant allows us to focus on our clients and services right now rather than on where to procure additional funds.” The Community Recovery Grants are designed to augment operations for those non-profits with pre-existing infrastructure, systems and staff that enable them to help clients quickly and efficiently in the wake of the pandemic disruptions.
Rising Stars Behavior Health has been serving clients since 2016 through the rollout of mental health counseling services. The organization has dealt with challenges, growing needs, disruptions, and loss of revenue during the pandemic. “We look forward to be able to do more for clients we serve thanks to these funds,” said Mike Waller. We’re grateful to be recipients of Community Recovery dollars and look forward to implementing more services in the future”.
