CPCS IN THE COMMUNITY


2015_SSTAR Visit
CPCS staff visit the Fall River SSTAR location.

Public Defenders, Investigators and Social Service Advocates visited the Stanley Street Treatment and Resource Center (SSTAR), a non-profit health care and social service agency which is a model for addiction and mental health treatment internationally (http://www.sstar.org/). They met with Nancy E. Paull, the CEO of SSTAR and a wonderful advocate for people in Fall River and New Bedford struggling with addiction, mental illness and poverty for over three decades.
