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!"

SUD- Teacher Quote for Prevention Services

“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.”
