Charleston Hope is a leadership team, licensed clinicians and care coordinators in every partner school, graduate clinicians we train ourselves, and a board that does real work.

LEADERSHIP

Our directors run programs, clinical care, operations, and advancement, and they meet weekly to hold each other to it.

SCHOOL TEAMS

Every school has a licensed therapist and a care coordinator. They know the students, the teachers, and the families by name.
