RAW has taken hundreds of men through their first years of recovery and beyond.
Dozens of those men now run treatment centers and sober living homes. They lead in this industry, and they still show up for the work.
RAW is led by founders Dave Alexander and Melissa Herr, alongside Thomas Orradre. The Fortitude Programā„¢ and Fortitude Circles are the culmination of our work in recovery coaching, interpersonal neurobiology and performance coaching.
Practical, daily support through the first years, built by men who have lived them.
How connection changes a man, and why the circle matters as much as the plan.
The tools high performers use, applied to a life you want to stay for.
Every program is built on the same ground: honest work, done alongside other men.
