Description
Founded by Army Veteran Stay Stopped Jackson, Stay Stopped United offers peer-to-peer mentoring and services to veterans who are transitioning from substance-abuse treatment centers into day-to-day recovery life. The premise of our program is to find a mutual connection with our Veteran peers. Keeping in mind that this process is our commitment to rebuilding our lives. we seek to encourage faith encourage action which will ultimately encourage recovery. In addition to our peer support outreach, we have created a recovery lifestyle clothing and apparel brand that we believe will create a sense of unity and a sense of being "a part of" this we also believe will help to fund additional programs that can help veterans sustain their purpose in recovery. We have created a platform consisting of mentors and life coaches who empower and encourage as an after-care resource. Our future vision and goal is to empower intrinsic leadership and encourage sustained long term sobriety as a recovery lifestyle. We encourage men and women to embrace a new belief system and unite in this journey to live as productive contributing members of society. Together, we will encourage each other to Stay Stopped as we are learning a new way.
