The WCSD Prevention Recovery Coordinators, Dr. Robin Stepps and Ms. Lavorges Canada, along with Chief Markeith Neal, were joined by representatives from the Arkansas State Police Highway Safety Office, the Arkansas Office of the State Drug Director, and The Center for Healing Hearts and Spirits.
Together, they visited each campus to assess student needs and explore ways their agencies can provide additional support and resources.
