Our Programs and Services

One father of a recipient said, "I'm a proud father of a client and I'm happy to share my positive experience with the HRC program. They recently accommodated our new route into Charleston, which had a significant impact on my daughter's enthusiasm to attend. My daughter is now visibly excited every morning to get on the bus, a difference from her previous experiences with other CDS sites in Charleston. I appreciate the positive impact HRC has had on my daughter's life and I promote the program to other caretakers. Thank you, HRC!"

One individual said, “I especially like the peer-led group sessions. Knowing the facilitator has experienced some of the same things I have gives me a measure of comfort and hope. Their understanding comes from their own life experiences. They’ve seen through it too. Through sharing experiences with each other, I get much needed validation."

One individual said, “Thank you for everything! Couldn’t have done it without you!” (Regarding their recovery)

Regarding our prevention staff, "does an exceptional job of explaining things in an understandable way for the age group.- The activities hold the students’ interest. – The more they hear this information the better!”

“Many of them (students) have only seen or heard things from social media or other sources that give them a false perception about drugs and alcohol. Mrs. Hills always addresses fact and fiction, which usually blows their mind. —Ms. Hills always has games, skits, or activities to keep them engaged. She has a great rapport with the students.-- This program is invaluable to these 6th graders.”
