Support for Students struggling with substance use At Hermitage High School, the health, wellness, and success of our students are the shared responsibility of our young people, their families, and our community of caring educators. We recognize the challenges that substance use can bring to our students, and we are committed to educating students on the risks of substance use while also ensuring that anyone who is struggling with substance use has access to resources and treatment support. Our school has a number of evidence-based programs and interventions ranging from classroom lessons to more specific services based on individual student needs. We have a staff member who is dedicated to helping families navigate resources and make connections to wraparound services for students struggling with substance use. If you have questions about youth substance use or if you are seeking support for your student, I encourage you to reach out directly to our Tiered Intervention School Counselor, Ms. Annaleigh Broad, at asbroad@henrico.k12.va.us or via her confidential phone line (804) 866-2687. Through the Henrico CARES initiative, you also have access to the following services at no cost to your family:
