This is great Tom. Can you cap the jails and prison on the first slide? I think it would look better. Also, do you have notes on this PPT? We could use this as a topic guide of discussion if the group wants. I'm super excited about this. I'd like to have something about treatment centers as well. I know in my area so many treatment centers are not allowing us in. A few have been opening up again, but it's only a few. I believe addressing treatment centers critical as they will be exiting much quicker than jails and prisons. Maybe we want to have two different PPT (presentations)? Presenting to the PR/H&I committees in our regions would be awesome. Thanks so much Tom! Great start for us!!!

This is simply a start. I have given this presentation several times all over the world including to the AZ region and Southern Cal. I would be really interested in getting additional ideas to improve it. We could do a similar one specifically for PR or make it a single big one. I have some notes on PPT and we can add more. I'm quick putting PowerPoints together. I did it for a living once.
With regard for treatment centers, in our part of the world, many treatment centers went to Zoom going into regular online meetings. This had the advantage that they could get sponsors that way. In addition, the presentation focuses on reentry managers in treatment centers such that they get a printed NA meeting schedule with hotline numbers as they walk out the door.
It's amazing when we get a hotline call from someone who says: I just got out, I'm in the parking lot and I need a meeting."

This is awesome Tom! I meant no diminishment ❤️ Our areas treatment centers won’t even let us zoom. Especially county where they have restrictions for servers etc. that’s something to think about. Nicely done brother!

I’m sorry but I was on group 2, I have been trying to respond but I’m not sure I understand this platform I’m not very good at it sorry I’m very interested in being part of a group 2. Did I miss the meeting? I know I did the poll and somehow I didn’t get my message across that I was not part of Group 4. I wanted to redact from 4, But definitely be part of group 2. Thank you so sorry for the confusion

One approach to consider is putting together a presentation on the various ways H&I/PR can carry the message and then presenting this to any Region or Area that would be willing to listen to it. I have a start on a presentation. See attached.
