The CARE Center (Caring Advocates for Recovery Education) provides free services for students dealing with addiction. 

The CARE Center is a partnership with The LCADA Way (Lorain County Alcohol and Drug Abuse) and the MHARS Board (Mental Health, Addiction, and Recovery Services) of Lorain County. These agencies have collaborated to provide prevention programs and support services for controlled substance misuse. They help those dealing with addiction issues or coping with family members who battle addiction. All services are free to the campus community.

The CARE Center is led by LCCC and University Partnership graduate Charlene Dellipoala. She earned her bachelor’s and master’s degrees in social work from Youngstown State University through LCCC’s University Partnership. Charlene is a licensed social worker and is currently pursuing her Ph. D. 

Counselors are available to meet with students by appointment. Please call the CARE Center at (440) 366-4848 or stop in to make an appointment.
