"I am so thankful for Success Street. I was having a hard time focusing in class because I thought I might be pregnant. I came down to Success Street and was able to talk with an educator about my concerns. She really helped me with a lot of questions I had, and I was able to take a pregnancy test that day to find out I was not pregnant. We also talked about STDs and I was able to make an appointment with the doctors at Success Street that same week! They were very helpful and so nice to talk with. After my appointments I was able to go right back to class without worry."
"I stopped down to talk with Success Street about birth control and to get some questions answered. During my conversation with the staff, they thought it might be a good idea to meet with one of the mental health counselors at Success Street. I was able to talk with them that same week!"
When asked what was most helpful regarding the services received at Success Street, a student stated: "Learning my options & healthy/unhealthy behaviors; getting help when in crisis. The whole team is full of the kindest people & I'm truly grateful for them."
