- SHARE! Culver City’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 which serve specific ethnic group 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! Culver City’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.
- With a staff of 10 full-time and four part-time employees, SHARE! relies on more than 4,000 volunteers a year, because when people are helping, they get the most mental health benefits. Everyone has something valuable to contribute.
- SHARE! Downtown, which opened in April 2009 at 425 S. Broadway, serves 1,000 a month with 29 self-help support groups, jobs training and Collaborative Housing.
