Our state-certified peer support specialists are here to walk with you on your recovery journey.

Thank you so much to the United Way’s Youth and Resiliency Series program for inviting The Courage Center & @lradacsc to present to community partners from all of the midlands, youth, case workers, directors, and educators. Our amazing team member, Jessie spoke on addiction in the Home: The Adverse Childhood Experiences of living with a parent/guardian who struggles with addiction, ways you can support youth in that experience & what signs to look out for if you are concerned about a youth experimenting. Thank you Jessie for having the courage to share your story and your fight to break the stigma of addiction. #recoveryoutloud #tcc #unitedway #youth #itmatters #together #recoveryispossible #callustoday πButton -

Dr. Quarles and her team at South Carolina State University (SCSU) recruited Dr. Pam Imm to help train the next cohort of Community Health Workers (CHW) on issues of alcohol and drug use. Dr. Imm, TCC leadership, and local partners continue to increase the readiness for peer support services in Orangeburg and nearby counties. “The partnership with SCSU is another opportunity to engage providers and other community organizations in our vision to provide a robust peer support system in Orangeburg for those who struggle with addiction and substance misuse.” At a break, Qwashema Venable, a participant in the class, talks with Dr. Imm about various topics. #thecouragecenter #togetherButton -
