It reminded me of whats important in life and not to take it for granted. My Intructor Mrs Candice Franks was on point with her knowledge on Prevention and making low risk choices. She was for me a God send i love a teacher that can get into my head some people just go through the motions. Mrs Franks touched on serious matters that can save your life and others. I only wish the very best for her and her family.

Thank you Gem and Barber school!Joe MamaJoe Mama ★★★★★ I highly recommend Barbers Driving School in Georgia for their Risk Assessment/Harm Reduction class! I have to admit I was not looking forward to this class, however my instructor was Mrs. Franks. She was absolutely awesome – super knowledgeable, patient, fun, and made a potentially stressful class feel comfortable and actually helpful.

She not only made the course interesting, but she allowed me to see things that I myself could not recognize in my own behaviors and/or choices. She was easy to speak with, and involved the entire class. She gave us the time we needed to express our thoughts and actions that we had taken which led us to the position in which we are currently in which is taking this mandated Risk- Reduction Course. I could not have asked for a better, more personable proctor of this required class. Maybe had I known her before I chose the choices, I may not be here today. I am honored to be apart of her session. Barber's Driving School, has sincerely helped me realize that I can do better in making the right choices, and I myself am accountable for my own actions.
