Southeast Health Group is currently expanding services in our new Rocky Ford location, at the corner of Main Street and Hwy 50. The new resource mall will offer peer support services, vocational training, mental health counseling, substance use disorder treatment, massage therapy, a barbershop, food and clothing pantries, and the T-Shirt Palace social enterprise. It is also home to the Coffee Break Project, a resource center for the agricultural community. This project was designed by our Rocky Ford Advisory Committee, responding to concerns about homeless, heroin and hunger in downtown Rocky Ford. We need your help to complete the renovations, making services more accessible to people in and around Rocky Ford.
