If you are in a helping profession, trying to help family or friends or need the help yourself, having the right resources to go to is the difference between total frustration and being able to make a difference in your life or someone else’s.
This is a lesson I have learned over the years of working with the homeless, the addicted and those who just are in need. And I have been frustrated in trying to find resources. Or worse, one I find a good resource, I lost that flyer, that piece of paper I wrote that down on.
This is why I have decided to start Riverside-Recovery-Resources.org. I currently run a very successful sober living home in Riverside, CA (http://www.got-recovery.org/) and one of the reasons it is so is that we are able to help our guys in finding the resources they need.
I am also studying to become an alcohol and drug counselor. So the motive for this project is first of all a very selfish one. But I would also like to see this become a collaborative effort of everyone in the recovery community.
So if you a professional, a church worker or just someone who needs help, this site is for you. If you know of any resource that should be here email me at jrmcphersonjr@ymail.com. Working together, I hope we can make this a truly valuable resource for the Riverside, CA recovery community.
