MCCSCS Forms

In 1992, a separate legal entity was formed called Mennonite Central Committee Supportive Care Services (MCC SCS). More group homes were established and adult respite services created. MCC SCS also began to support people living with mental illness and those who live with an acquired brain injury. Our social enterprise program, Support Towards Employment Program (STEP), began Shred Masters and Valley Recycling, providing pre-employment support and hands-on training for those who are living with mental illness. The Peer Support Worker program began, allowing people to support one another as they navigate their way towards mental wellness.
