“Help YourSelf: Community Resources Directory,” is a highly specialized information dissemination publication’ aimed at three objectives: Deliver accurate information in an ‘easy access’ format about a wide variety of ‘help yourself’ programs directly to disadvantaged persons and also to ‘good-works’ service providers.
Publish topical factual information addressing core issues of social success, i.e.: remediation of homelessness, therapeutic intervention, pro-active self-directed behavior modification, parenting skills, training for gainful employment, etc.
Build a ‘model business operation’ which equips workers with skill-set training, covers its own costs, and equitably compensates workers by producing a high-quality publication that serves as an effective ‘restorative justice’ outreach tool for every individual and/or organization aligned to these principles.
