Write Notes of Encouragement
R1:99 facilitates a weekly Grief & Loss program for 45 men and women in the Residential Substance Abuse Treatment unit at the DC Jail. Recovery is challenging, and participants often struggle to stay positive and recognize their own progress. You can make a meaningful impact by writing short notes of encouragement. Over the years, we’ve found that this small act of kindness is deeply healing for both the person receiving the note and the person writing it. This opportunity is open to both individuals and groups and takes about two hours.
