What We Believe
-
- That knowledge, shared personal experiences, open dialogue, interdependence and the power of positive example has a profound impact on others (and often on ourselves).
- That there is no such thing as a quick fix. Our programs are built on establishing relationships and trust over time.
- That through action, change is possible. Our programs are action-based and action-driven.
- That everyone, including Road Recovery staff, has something to learn — and something to teach. We believe in mentorship and sharing personal experiences, to help young people “connect the dots” towards a healthier future.
- That some who dabble in drugs and alcohol become addicted. For those, one experiment following another leads to painful and often catastrophic results.
- That providing support to participants seeking help with their adversities can help them fare better.

OVERALL POSITIVE INFLUENCE
- Placing participants with a group of wellness-minded peers “subjects” participants to positive “peer pressure”
- Redefining youth culture by exposing its self-destructive aspects as unnecessary
- Challenging pre-conceived notions of a prescriptive “program” by inviting total ownership of the process once involved
- Adjunct to treatment/support services in conjunction with program participation increases retention in concurrent treatment/support networks and maximizes associated protective factors
- Personal investment increases retention in the program
