Human Support Services (HSS) is pleased to announce the hire of Melinda Stevens as a direct care worker at the “Waterloo and Main” apartment sites.  Melinda resides in Red Bud and enjoys bowling and painting.  She will teach developmentally delayed clients daily living skills to help them live as independently as possible in the community.  In this role, Melinda will teach/assist with daily living skills, pass medications, and provide social skills training.  She will be supervised by Site Manager Bobbi Walters.  HSS provides 24-hour supervision to nearly 40 developmentally delayed or mentally ill clients.

The mission of HSS is to provide high quality, comprehensive services to Monroe County residents with mental health or substance abuse needs, or developmental disabilities.  HSS is a private, non-profit community resource founded in 1973, providing confidential COA-accredited services.  Thanks to the United Way of Greater St. Louis and the local Monroe County Community Mental Health Funding Board (H.B. 708), HSS can set fees that are affordable.  For further information, call 618-939-4444, visit www.hss1.org or become a friend on Facebook.
