A History of Service

The RIGHT RESPONSE story begins with our parent company, Service Alternatives, a values-based human services agency committed to helping people reach their full potential. In 1993, Service Alternatives was seeking a more person-centered, prevention-based crisis training program. Unable to find what we needed, we began developing that program ourselves. Through extensive research, evidence-based refinement, and real world testing, RIGHT RESPONSE was born. Powered by its positive impact, RIGHT RESPONSE has become an industry leader with a lasting commitment to its founding values.
