Just Do It Now was founded by Greg Baines as a
result his personal battles with substance abuse. The
abuse led to other criminal activity which eventually led to
imprisonment, it was through pure “faith” that Greg began the
road to personal change and inner healing.
Greg’s
personal experiences in the “at risk” community enlightened him
to the true needs of those individuals that continue to slip
through the cracks of society. Greg’s understanding of the needs
of these individuals propelled him into a personal campaign of
“loving the community” back to health. Upon his final release
from the Texas Department of Corrections, Greg immediately hit
the “streets” spreading the initial ingredient for at risk
recovery, Love!
Greg attended Therapon Institute, where he received his faith
based counseling certification and currently has a staff of four
additional counselors which work along side of him. Just Do It
Now is the conduit between the at risk individual and the rest
of the community. Our ultimate goal is to bridge the gap between
these individuals and the other segments of society such
government, businesses, and the community overall. “I feel that
a true understanding of the needs of an individual is the
beginning to understanding of how “we” can be an component to
community recovery.
Just Do It Now believes that through the education of it’s
partnerships with city and county governments, business owners,
the faith community (churches), other community based
organizations and the individuals within our community that
changes within the community starts with one individual, spreads
to the family and finally a community. |
