Sometimes you just need someone to just be there…

The Next Step program is designed to empower individuals, providing the tools and support necessary to navigate their personal journeys.

Through this program, participants are paired with a peer specialist who shares similar life experiences, fostering a supportive and understanding environment. Each participant will meet with their peer specialist at least once a week, focusing on developing self-directed goals and addressing current challenges.

At this time, the Next Step program offers a unique opportunity for individuals residing in Cass, Wadena, Morrison, Crow Wing, Aitkin, Todd, Waseca, Steele, Goodhue, Dodge, Mower, Wabasha, Olmsted, Fillmore, Winona, and Houston counties.

If you are interested in bringing Next Step to your area, please contact us at nextstep@mnwitw.org.
