SHARE! was created in 1993 to serve people through self-help support groups and communities that provide recovery and social support.  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.

Only with your support will we be able to:

• Expand SHARE! Collaborative Housing and provide more permanent supportive housing to our must vulnerable population – vets, mental health consumers, people with diabetes, trauma issues and others with similar issues.
• Increase services at our two locations: SHARE! Culver City and SHARE! Downtown the friendly, accessible and supportive centers where a large community of self-help groups meet each week to address all kinds of issues.
• Change people’s lives through our Peer Specialist Training program.

SHARE! Collaborative Housing has housed more than 5,000 mental health consumers since its inception.

SHARE!’s countywide self-help support group referral service puts callers in touch with 10,000 self-help support groups in Los Angeles County. SHARE!’s referrals are culturally competent, including groups that serve specific ethnic groups such as African-Americans or Asians, as well as groups in Spanish, Chinese, Farsi, Armenian and many other languages. 2-1-1 LA County refers callers for self-help support groups to SHARE!.

SHARE!’s Volunteer-to-Job program, free and open to anyone, provides job training and support in getting and maintaining employment. A quarter of the participants in this program, who are primarily disabled mental health consumers, get jobs within three months.

SHARE! relies on more than 4,000 volunteers a year. When people are helping, they get the most mental health benefits. Everyone has something valuable to contribute
