Next Step Community Solutions Next Step Community Solutions is a nonprofit with a mission to create healthy, vibrant communities through training, education, mentoring, and counseling.

Founded in 1984, Better Business Bureau Accredited Charity Next Step has been located in Tyler, Texas since our founding in 1984. We were originally established as Sister Communities Council on Alcohol and Drug Abuse (SCCADA) to address the issues of youth alcohol and substance abuse. We have 3 programs that help create healthy communities through training, education, mentoring, and counseling:

Our Community Coalition Partnership Program works to bring concerned community forces together to prevent alcohol and drug abuse with East Texas youth. This program is funded primarily by the Department of State Health Services (DSHS). Our coalitions seek to alter community perceptions and public policy. We have three coalitions that support 9 counties. Our Comprehensive Counseling Program works alongside schools and juvenile probation offices to offer counseling services for less than the cost of a full-time district employee. Our Community Assistance Service helps citizens find the services they need to help them, or loved ones, overcome alcohol and/or substance abuse problems. Our staff helps them take that first step of calling the appropriate agency to schedule an assessment or counseling session.

One of the most important mindsets we can have during Substance Abuse Prevention Month is that don’t have to have all the answers to make a difference. Sometimes, the most important first step is simply starting the conversation!

On our website, we explore some ways you can talk to those in your life, whether it's family or a friend, on how to support each other during tough moments!

As the fall season slowly takes over, we are sharing some practical ways you can help teens navigate school stress, busy schedules, and changing emotions while making time for the things they enjoy!

We believe young people thrive when they feel supported, understood, and reminded that they don’t have to figure everything out on their own!

Coming out is a personal experience, and there is no one “right” way or timeline. For some people, it can be an empowering experience; for others, it may feel complicated or unsafe. What matters most is that everyone deserves to feel respected, supported, and accepted for who they are.

Today, on National Coming Out Day, we honor every journey, celebrate people being their authentic self, and reaffirm that everyone deserves to feel safe, supported, and valued for who they are.

Supportive connections make a meaningful difference in mental well-being.
Let’s continue being those safe people who make others feel safe and accepted in our community!

Check in on someone, speak up when something isn’t right, and be the person who helps others feel like they belong.

You never know what someone else may be going through!
