Did you know there are many local human service resources in Monroe County and surrounding areas to assist patients, neighbors or others trying to cope with the pandemic and other stresses – sources for food, clothing, shelter, mental health support and many other needs?  Calling 2-1-1 or going to https://211lifeline.org/ can provide information to help address those issues. 

STEP is in the process of merging ESD’s many resources onto 211Lifeline’s platform to expand the availability of important information to a wider audience.  Because of the delays due to COVID, educational links for upcoming classes, webinars, and other informational sites for healthcare and other human service providers are still being maintained at https://emergencyservicesdirectory.org/EducationalLinks for the time being, but many COVID-related links are available on both sites.  

STEP's goal is to continue to provide educational resources to our health and safety professionals through the 2-1-1 site while also expanding to include health-related organizations and educational web resources to the general community.
