Why You Should Join?

When you practice The Respect Basics, you finally learn what it really means to respect yourself, which is knowing you’re a unique contributor to the greater whole. Only with your self-respect going strong can you spread respect. You think and behave like: I matter. You matter. You also learn that you can not only survive, but thrive (to grow, succeed, be healthy and be a positive influence). I hope you understand that no matter what you’re going through – struggling to reach a goal, recovering from tough circumstances, advocating for change – that respect truly is the remedy.
