Positive Directions Equals Change

Positive Directions Equals Change began as a support network for African Americans in recovery, many of whom were exiting treatment facilities, and returning to the community from jails and prison.  In an effort to establish an ongoing community support system of friends in recovery, we launched The Gathering in 1993. Nearly 30 years later, hundreds of us come together every Friday night. We remain committed to helping justice involved people rebuild thier lives so they can reach their potential and achieve their dreams.
