In honor of Recovery Month, RRJA would like to say… Recovery IS possible.

RRJA welcomed SAFE Project for a Military Wellness Program hosted by Mr. Swift. He shared powerful tools, resources, and support to promote wellness, reduce stigma, and strengthen recovery for those impacted by substance use and mental health challenges. We would also like to congratulate our male residents for successfully completing the Military Wellness Program. Your commitment to growth, wellness, and recovery is something to be proud of.

RRJA also welcomed Project LINK to meet with our female residents. Their team provided trauma informed guidance, prenatal and parenting support, and recovery focused resources for women who are pregnant, postpartum, parenting, or rebuilding their lives while navigating substance use or mental health challenges. Their work encourages stability, empowerment, and long term healing.

Recovery Month reminds us that recovery is a community effort supported by partnerships that uplift the individuals we serve. RRJA is always looking for ways to connect with programs that promote public service and public safety. If you would like to collaborate, please contact [email protected].

Twenty‑five years ago, first responders courageously risked their lives to help others.

Riverside Regional Jail honors their courage, their sacrifice, and the unwavering commitment they showed in the face of unimaginable danger. Their actions continue to set the standard for everyone who serves public safety. We remember the lives lost, the families forever changed, and the strength our nation showed in the days that followed.

RRJA would like to give a big congratulations to our TC graduates.
This program isn’t easy, it requires you to slow down, look in the mirror, and confront the parts of yourself that need change. That takes courage, commitment, and honesty. Each graduate earned this moment through hard work and personal growth.

A special thank‑you to Petersburg Sheriff Vanessa Crawford for delivering a strong and uplifting message to the group. Her words of encouragement reminded our graduates to keep moving forward and continue the positive changes they’ve started.

Keep going — you earned this moment!
