S.T.A.N.D. Sobriety Through a New Direction. I'm in the process of creating a 'Social Enterprise' which will create programs to support youth in need of direction. This organization will reach out to youth in recovery from addictions, youth in need of coaching services to support and encourage healthy change, a volunteer central program which will help connect youth to volunteer opportunities and community service possibilities to encourage empathy and community connections, peer mentoring programs, leadership programs, community programs such as NA, AA and Al Anon, Nar ANON, a drop in center for youth and parents for support, parent support and family programs as well as many other programs designed to help families and youth get support and resources within the community when in need. The plan is to develop a program that will connect youth and families to services available within the community, a source of light for families in darkness.
Many of our youth today are lonely, lost and afraid, tormented and disrespectful, turning to drugs, alcohol and crime out of loneliness, boredom and defiance. They lack necessary respect for themselves and their community in a world we have built. WE are responsible to ensure there are resources for families and teens when they need them. Resources are needed TODAY!!! Photo credit: Photo found online and belongs to its respectful owner.
