IMPACT
in Sturgis
Your Generosity in Action
A Sturgis family noticed that their daughter was exhibiting some major changes in her daily life. She was becoming more moody, more tired, and was no longer interested in sports.
The family reached out to WellFully, a local organization that is dedicated to helping youth through mental health crises. WellFully conducted a drug and alcohol assessment for the young girl. From that assessment, the team at WellFully led the girl to attend intensive out-patient treatment, and the complexity and the seriousness of her usage became more clear. Ultimately, she was referred to a higher level of care. Today, she is sober and has a bright outlook on the future.
Funding from the United Way of the Black Hills allows WellFully to have the resources necessary to help the youth of Sturgis and Meade County at a moment’s notice. WellFully’s mission helps save lives, and we are honored to partner with WellFully and you to provide mental health services to Sturgis and Meade County.
This is just one story of one life changed. UWBH supports more than 40 different nonprofits serving the Black Hills and each one has hundreds of stories of lives changed thanks to your donation to UWBH.
