Welcome! We are just getting rolling on this new website at Pedersen Recovery Inc. but I wanted to take this opportunity to say thank you for visiting and hopefully you find something you like! We are in the early stages of putting together the Pedersen Recovery Tour which will have me traveling across the province speaking to groups, teams, organizations, schools, companies and the like about Recovery, Substance Abuse Prevention and Mental Illness. Currently we are gathering sponsorship for the tour so that these presentations will be provided in your community at NO COST for the town! I'll also be writing blog posts, telling stories and getting things off my chest here on this page as they pertain to the world of Recovery. Thanks again for stopping by!
