SHARE! The Self-Help And Recovery Exchange

Since 1993, SHARE! the Self-Help And Recovery Exchange has served people through self-help support groups and communities that provide recovery and social support. SHARE! is dedicated to providing housing, rehabilitation, and renewal, guiding individuals toward lives filled with purpose and hope. We are a catalyst for transformation, shaping futures that reflect the very essence of who you are and aspire to be, where transformation happens. Mission Statement: SHARE! provides a nurturing environment where individuals can honor their life stories, pursue personal growth, and embrace change by choice. Through lived experience peer support, self-help support groups and collaborative housing, we empower individuals to reinvigorate their foundational life skills and address unresolved traumas. We foster personal accountability and provide unwavering support as individuals embark on a purpose-driven journey towards life transformation. Our outcomes are who you become. As people develop skills to cope with substance use, trauma, mental health disorders, and dysfunctional relationships, people learn to better their own lives, get jobs, reconnect with family and friends and reintegrate into the community. SHARE!’s programs–SHARE! Collaborative Housing, SHARE! self-help centers in Culver City and Downtown, the SHARE! Recovery Retreat and SHARE! Volunteer-to-Job internships–are designed to support self-sufficiency through social support and community integration. The idea for SHARE! grew out of the frustrations people attending self-help support groups faced, repeatedly encountering operational problems that interfered with the healing process. Under the auspices of Emotional Health Association, a California 501(c)(3) corporation, a group of meeting-goers formed a board and working committees. SHARE! officially opened its doors at an abandoned warehouse in Venice, CA in 1993. Want More Information? Visit www.shareselfhelp.org or contact us at info@shareselfhelp.org.
