Support Services
We provide culturally specific support services and programs to meet the needs of our clients and community members.
Culturally Specific Service Center
The Culturally Specific Service Center is made up of local partner organizations. The objective of organizations work together on reducing the disparities in the community. The CSSC is a one-stop center, that addresses and provides services in the area of legal assistance, health insurance and healthcare services, counseling, education resources, job skills training and employment, and housing referrals. Services are provided onsite at Turning Point headquarters. Hours are from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. Monday through Thursday.

Aftercare - A Continuance of Care Program
Aftercare is Turning Point’s system of support for a recovering person once treatment is over. The program consists of regular meetings with occasional guest speakers, including Turning Point alumni. Aftercare provides a way for clients to remain connected to our support network after they have completed treatment – for the rest of their lives if they desire.
For more information on Aftercare, contact Woodrow Jefferson at 612-520-9197 or e-mail woodrow.jefferson@ourturningpoint.org.
“One thing I like about Aftercare is seeing the alumni. It’s really encouraging to see them and hear what they have to say. I also appreciate the information that’s given out to help our growth. Aftercare gives hope to the newcomer, to all of us trying to live in recovery.”
