Assessing community safety and supports Part 4
October 4th, 2005 by Terry Keith
So do you need to begin planning for a move or do more research?
What you are asking yourself is, “Can I get the jobs and the educational opportunities now or in the near future in this community?”
What you are doing is creating a resource list of possible opportunities that exist in your community that you may not have been aware of or paid attention to.
If your community does not provide opportunities for you to meet your life goals, then you need to be equally diligent about researching a possible community for your consideration.
Remember, meaningful work is closely associated with self esteem and a lifestyle that is not compatible with addiction.
Basic Physical Safety, A Must Have
If you:
Live in a neighborhood where people are frequently threatened with violence.
Live in a neighborhood were drugs are readily and visibly available.
Are concerned that your former friends or acquaintances were violent to you or others, and live in your home community.
Need specialized medical or counseling services that are not available in your community or town.
You need to make a concrete, realistic, workable plan for personal safety or you need to consider moving.
