About 2d Chance Inc
2d Chance Inc gives people in Las Vegas a place to start over without having to solve everything alone. It offers mental and behavioral health care, substance use treatment, and reentry support for formerly incarcerated people, veterans, homeless clients, and other underserved residents. For donors, the appeal is simple: this is the kind of organization that meets people where they are, then helps them take the next practical step.
What sets 2d Chance Inc apart is how many of the hard, everyday barriers it helps with in one place. Clients can access counseling, substance use treatment, reentry support, employment assistance, benefit navigation, and referrals to partner medical entities when needed. Its model also emphasizes Moral Reconation Therapy and wraparound care for people who have often been left to piece services together on their own.
