ROI helps build the bridge for youth and young adults to receive support for a successful transition to adulthood through engagement and providing access to mental health services.
Our Mission
To support the recovery of youth and young adults with mental illness in Sumter, Kershaw and Lee counties.
Our Vision
Our goal is for young adults to receive responsive age, developmentally appropriate, youth-driven, culturally competent, and highly individualized care, which will lead to a full and productive life.
ROI will reach out to young adults with emerging mental health conditions who fail to engage in treatment, and by doing so, will reduce the risk for many conditions that could result in academic underachievement, unemployment, and a loss of social supports.
