Support & Research Projects
Through our partnership with StepUp Durham, SUSO-NC has provided $18,439.83 worth of trauma-informed mental health services to individuals and families affected by trauma.
This collaboration allows us to extend our reach and impact, ensuring that those directly and indirectly impacted by adversity receive the care and support they need to heal and thrive. Together, we are making a meaningful difference in our community, fostering resilience and empowering lives.

We’re excited to launch our 2024 Fall Campaign! Generous donors Phil Spiro and Linda Raftery will match up to $35,000 in new, increased, or renewed donations, PLUS one year’s worth of any new, recurring monthly gifts. For example, if a donor signed up to give $100/month, $1,200 would count toward the match!
