Updates

We're excited to announce that South Central Human Relations Center is now Spero! Why the change? Because we want our name to reflect our mission: inspiring hope and empowering change in mental health care across southern Minnesota. For nearly six decades, we've been breaking down barriers to mental health services, pioneering innovative approaches, and supporting individuals on their journeys to wellness. But we know there's still work to do. Too many people don't realize help is available until they're in crisis. We want to change that by making our services more accessible and inclusive for everyone. Spero isn't just a name—it's a promise. A promise to meet you where you are, to walk alongside you, and to provide the support you need to thrive. We're proud of our past, but even more excited for what's ahead. Together, we can build a community where mental health care is within reach for all.
South Central Human Relations Center Rebrands as Spero, Building on a Legacy of Breaking Barriers to Mental Health Care Effective January 1st, 2025 – With nearly six decades of providing compassionate, innovative mental health services, South Central Human Relations Center is proud to announce its rebranding as Spero, a name inspired by the Latin word for “hope.” This new identity reflects the organizations’ enduring commitment to empowering individuals, breaking barriers to access, and fostering resilience across southern Minnesota. Since its founding in 1964 as a small mental health clinic, Spero has grown into a leading behavioral health organization, offering a wide range of services including individual and group therapy, psychiatry, case management, and integrated care for co-occurring mental health and substance use disorders. We've been serving southern Minnesota communities for over 60 years...and we're just getting started!

🧡 Thanksgiving Reminder*🧡 As the holiday season begins, it's okay if Thanksgiving feels complicated. For some, the day is full of warmth and family, but for others, it may bring up difficult feelings or memories. If you're struggling with family issues, loneliness, or your mental health, remember: 🌱 You don't have to pretend everything's okay. It's alright to honor how you're truly feeling. 🧡 Self-care is a form of gratitude too. If you need space or quiet time, give yourself permission to take it. Reflect on what feels grounding or comforting for *you* today. 🌻 Connection comes in many forms. Friends, chosen family, online communities, and even pets can bring meaningful support and joy. Reaching out doesn't need to be big—sometimes just a message or a shared moment can make a difference. This Thanksgiving, know that you're not alone, and however you choose to spend the day is valid. Taking care of your well-being is something to be proud of. Here's to honoring your needs and finding peace in your own way. 💛 #MentalHealthMatters #ThanksgivingSupport #YouAreNotAlone
