Piedmont Support Services of NC is a community agency that services Winston-Salem and surrounding counties. The agency’s focus is to support and empower families and individuals in need of advocacy and quality support services stemming from crises. We believe that being able to do this takes a strong partnering with the judicial system, mental health providers, law enforcement and those that do other services that help those in the community.
"There is a great streak of violence in every human being. If it is not channeled or understood, it will break out in war and madness"--Gerard Vanderhaar

The COOL PROGRAM proudly supports PROJECT REENTRY in its efforts to give people re-entering society from the penitentiary, an opportunity to move forward in their life and to do wonderful and positive things. We have to always remember that the only thing that separates us from those that are incarcerated is that one mistake!
