About Take Action Today
Our Mission
Take Action Today Inc is a 501 (c) not-for-profit aimed at growing recovery resource capacity in Franklin, Jefferson, Perry, Williamson, and Jackson Counties, as well as throughout Southern Illinois. As a Recovery Community Organization, we work to advocate for the needs of the recovery community on local, regional,
state, and national levels, develop training opportunities for people in recovery, and create service opportunities for people in recovery to give back to their communities.
TAT is committed to the development of the Peer Recovery Specialist role and delivering non-clinical support services that help to increase a person’s chances of successful long-term recovery. Our vision is to create a vibrant, grassroots recovery community that fosters long-term recovery in the lives of those at risk of/or experiencing substance use and/or homelessness. Our mission is to provide peer-based recovery support services to people seeking recovery from lifestyles of substance use and/or homelessness.
