HUDSON CARE

Hudson C.A.R.E. (Chemical Abuse Reduced by Education) is a cooperative volunteer effort of the Hudson Parent
Partnership/CARE and Hudson City Schools. In the 2004-2005 school year, Hudson City School Administration asked the
Hudson Parent Partnership to take over the stewardship of C.A.R.E., an organization that was started in 1981. C.A.R.E.
was a registered as a 501c(4) not-for-profit organization. In 2005, the Parent Partnership and Hudson C.A.R.E were
consolidated and registered with the State of Ohio as a 501c(4) not-for-profit organization.

HUDSON HIGH SCHOOL STUDENT ASSISTANCE PROGRAM

The Hudson City Schools’ Student Assistance Team consists of staff and support staff who received basic alcohol and
other drug prevention and intervention training. The team meets weekly to manage the program and to discuss student
issues. All members are available for students who have concerns about another student, a friend, a family member or
themselves. The district-wide Student Assistance Team supports the team.

Saturday Family Workshop is a family-based program offered through the Six District Educational Compact to middle
and high school students and their parents or legal guardians as an alternative consequence of an alcohol/other drug
school policy violation or a juvenile justice referral. Student Support Groups are offered to students needing support for
their recovery from chemical dependency. Additional drug education support groups are offered as needed.

H.U.D.D.L.E.

HUDDLE, which stands for Helping Us Develop Dedication, Leadership and Enthusiasm is a mentoring program in which
high school students educate younger students about the dangers of alcohol, tobacco and other drugs. The high school
mentors help younger students learn about ways of saying “No” to peer pressure. Mentor-led learning is a type of role-
modeling that enables youth to see good examples of people who are older and living a tobacco, alcohol and drug-free
lifestyle. This program has been adapted to fit the Hudson City Schools curriculum standards.

The HUDDLE program targets many of the developmental assets, which have been identified by the Search Institute and
Hudson’s Community First as the building blocks of healthy development. It also meets the instructional objectives of
the Health curriculum developed for fourth and sixth grades.

High school students are selected to be HUDDLE mentors after completing an extensive application and interview
process, and committing to being completely tobacco, alcohol, and other drugs-free. HUDDLE mentors also complete a
training session to learn how to effectively teach the HUDDLE lessons to the younger students. They present three
lessons to fourth grade students, and three lessons to sixth grade students.
