Tri-County Human Services, Inc. Providing Substance Use and Mental Health Services, Prevention, Treatment, and Education in Polk, Hardee, and Highlands counties (Florida, USA)

Tri-County Human Services, Inc. is a beacon of hope and support in Polk, Highlands, and Hardee County, Florida, dedicating five decades to fostering positive change in the community. Our 501(c)(3) non-profit status underscores our commitment to serving others, offering evidence-based programs that have garnered recognition and awards. At the heart of our mission lies prevention, particularly targeting at-risk youth in local middle and high schools. By educating not only students but also local government officials and businesses, we illuminate the profound impact of drugs, alcohol, and untreated mental health issues on our communities. In addition to our prevention efforts, we provide essential residential services for both men and women. Remarkably, over 80% of the babies born to women in our care are born drug-free, a testament to our holistic approach to healing. Our impact extends beyond individual lives; it saves taxpayer dollars by steering program graduates away from the criminal justice system. By empowering individuals to avoid arrest, trial, and incarceration, we alleviate the burden on the state and ensure families remain intact. The Highlands Outpatient Facility stands as a pillar of mental health care, catering to individuals as young as two years old. We believe in addressing mental health concerns early, offering a lifeline to those in need. Furthermore, our commitment to community safety extends to providing classes for individuals grappling with DUIs and substance abuse-related driving issues. Through education and support, we strive to empower individuals to make better choices and reclaim their driving privileges responsibly. Above all, our services are delivered with unwavering privacy, respect, and care for every individual and their family. Our CARF certification with highest honors reflects our dedication to maintaining the highest standards of care and professionalism. At Tri-County Human Services, Inc., we believe in the transformative power of compassion and support, one life at a time.

Voices for Recovery Peer Certification Training Wraps Up Successful First Session

Tri-County completed its inaugural Voices for Recovery Peer Certification Training from February 16 to February 20, 2026. The five-day program delivered 40 hours of formal education aligned with Florida Certification Board requirements.

The training brought together staff with lived experience in mental health and substance use recovery. Participants focused on peer support skills, ethics, communication, and recovery-oriented practices.

Attendees maintained full participation throughout the week, meeting the program’s attendance standards and earning credit toward professional certification.

Supervisors and teams supported participants by ensuring coverage and protected training time. This support contributed to strong engagement and consistent attendance.

The program strengthened Tri-County’s peer workforce and expanded internal capacity for recovery-focused services. Graduates now move forward with enhanced skills and credentials to serve clients and families across the region.

We thank all participants, supervisors, and organizers for making this first training a success.

Wishing everyone a day filled with kindness, joy, and all things sweet. Happy Valentine’s Day 💘
