HUGS’ services are made possible by community donations and dedicated volunteers. HUGS’ counselors all volunteer their time and expertise to make counseling affordable. They are committed to providing exceptional services to the Chatham County’s under-served population without using taxpayer dollars (i.e. government-funded programs such as Medicaid) as a funding source. HUGS is bridging the gap in
health services and filling a critical need – NOT at the expense of local taxpayers, but rather to the benefit of local employers and the Savannah community at large.What Makes HUGS Different? HUGS partners with existing community resources to provide a full range of services, not only to assist individuals in realizing their potential, but also to foster a positive relationship between participants and their community. HUGS is unique because its model of service emphasizes participant accountability as well as counseling provided by qualified professionals.
