SHARE! the Self-Help And Recovery Exchange

Since its inception in 1993, SHARE! - the Self-Help And Recovery Exchange - has been dedicated to empowering individuals through self-help support groups and vibrant communities, fostering both recovery and social connectivity. Our participants embark on a transformative journey, equipped with invaluable skills to navigate challenges ranging from substance use and trauma to mental health disorders and interpersonal difficulties.

At SHARE!, our multifaceted programs serve as catalysts for personal growth and societal reintegration. Through a blend of peer support and community engagement, individuals not only enhance their own lives but also find avenues to secure employment, mend relationships, and seamlessly reintegrate into their communities.

With two flagship community centers - SHARE! Culver City and SHARE! Downtown - nestled in the heart of Los Angeles, California, we currently facilitate over 100 self-help support group meetings per week, encompassing diverse modalities including 12-step groups.

Furthermore, through SHARE! Collaborative Housing, a pioneering public-private partnership, we provide affordable, permanent supportive housing to disabled individuals across Los Angeles County, fostering independence and stability.

Our commitment to holistic healing extends to the SHARE! Recovery Retreat, a transformative two-week program offering complimentary accommodations and a rich array of healing activities. Here, individuals are empowered to rediscover their passions and chart a course towards a fulfilling life.

In addition, our esteemed SHARE! Advanced Peer Specialist training program equips peers with the necessary skills for behavioral health roles, offering Medi-Cal Peer Support Specialist Certification training and paving the way for meaningful careers in the field.
