What better reason to celebrate? 🏆🎉

Our Joplin team recently held its first-ever Client Success Awards, recognizing the achievements, growth and resilience of the incredible individuals we support!

With more than 130 nominations submitted, there was a LOT to celebrate, from growing independence and reaching employment goals to supporting peers, getting involved in the community and overcoming personal challenges.

Congratulations to all of our nominees and award recipients! 💜🧡 We loved getting to celebrate YOU!
