Time to Think About Change is a state-of-the-art alcohol and substance abuse individualized learning activity program. Hudson River Center was asked by the New York State Department 
of Correctional Services to help educate, engage, and energize inmates about the disease of alcoholism/substance abuse and the power of recovery. The resulting curriculum is composed of 120 sequential, one-hour, self-directed learning sessions targeted to inmates assigned to Special Housing Units (SHU). SHU inmates are either in solitary confinement or with a cellmate for twenty-four hours per day, seven days per week.

Training on Fetal Alcohol Syndrome (FAS) was provided by Hudson River Center trainers to adolescent pregnancy caseworkers and community health workers. Hudson River Center trainers worked with the Leatherstocking Education on Alcoholism/Addiction Foundation and the New York State Department of Health to develop and implement the training on screening and referral for FAS.
