PRESS RELEASE: SENT Inc. and Be Filled of South Topeka Partner to Expand Wraparound Services to the Montara Community

/ Press Release, Program Update / By

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
February 12, 2025

Topeka, KS – SENT Inc. is excited to announce a new partnership with Be Filled of South Topeka, extending critical wraparound services to the Montara community—an area that falls outside Topeka city limits and lacks access to many city-funded resources. Beginning March 1, 2025, this collaboration will ensure that Montara families have the support they need to thrive.

Through this partnership, clients receiving services from Be Filled will be referred to SENT’s Neighbor Advocate team, connecting them with:

  • Case Management – Personalized support to navigate resources and achieve stability.
  • Mental Health Services – Licensed professionals providing therapy and trauma-informed care.
  • Substance Use Disorder (SUD) Support – Assistance with recovery, including Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT) and peer support.
  • Physical Health Services – Including Express Medical Care, Chiropractic, Massage Therapy, and Pediatric Occupational Therapy
  • Transportation Assistance – SENT will provide Lyft and Uber rides for referred individuals needing to access appointments. In the future, SENT’s upcoming people mover service will further reduce transportation barriers.

Why This Matters

The Montara community falls outside of Topeka’s city limits, making residents ineligible for many assistance programs available through city-funded agencies. By bridging this gap, SENT and Be Filled are ensuring that location is no longer a barrier to receiving life-changing resources.

“We are thrilled to partner with Be Filled of South Topeka to expand access to vital resources for individuals and families in South Topeka,” said Tricia McCourt, LAC, SENT’s Addiction Specialist & Neighbor Advocate. “This collaboration allows us to reach more people in need and ensures that those who might have previously lacked access to services will now have the opportunity to benefit from the full range of programs and support that SENT offers. Together, we can make a greater impact and create stronger, more resilient communities.”

How to Access Support

Individuals receiving services through Be Filled of South Topeka can request a referral to SENT’s Neighbor Advocate team. Once referred, SENT will coordinate appointments, services, and transportation as needed.

How You Can Help

SENT is committed to removing barriers to essential services, and monetary donations can further ensure transportation is never an obstacle for those in need. Donations help cover the cost of Lyft, Uber, and future transportation services.
