CHARLES "CHUCK" COLLINS FULL TIME DIRECT CARE WORKER


Human Support Services (HSS) is pleased to announce the promotion of Charles “Chuck” Collins from a part time to a full time direct care worker at the “Bradford” apartment sites.  Chuck enjoys photography, motorsports, and cooking.  He received his B.S. in Psychology from the University of Illinois and has over 16 years of experience serving the social services field.  He teaches mentally ill clients daily living skills to help them live as independently as possible in the community.  In this role, Chuck teaches/assists with daily living skills, passes medications, and provides social skills training.  He is supervised by Site Manager Dawn Garner.  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.
