Anthony Brown, an author, teacher, and professional in health care, describes his vision of helping those who are less fortunate. He purchased a house that is currently in renovation for the homeless to get back on their feet. He needs our help. He is a thinker as he is exploring neuroplasticity and working to understand a way to reach those struggling.
Anthony Brown’s dramatic life story has led him to many dark and often dangerous places. Addicted to drugs and alcohol since he was very young, From Bark Bench to Park Avenue details his incredible journey from dysfunction and homelessness to recovery and triumph – pursuing his ultimate passion of giving hope and help to those still imprisoned by destructive behaviors and substance abuse. All of the proceeds from From Park Bench to Park Avenue will be used to transform a historic home into Brown Manor – a place of recovery, where individuals can begin a new journey, alcohol and drug free; a place that offers a hand up, not a hand out.
Anthony Brown is the founder and director of Coordinating & Assisting Recovery Environments (C.A.R.E.), located in Anaheim, California. Since 1999, Anthony's passion is providing specialized treatment for individuals who suffer with mental illness combined with a substance use disorder. With a B.S. in Nursing from California State University Fullerton, Anthony developed and directed a long-term residential treatment model, which has fueled his dream to open a home for those who have suffered from the disease of addiction and mental illness. He currently enjoys being thankful for each breath and gratefully lives every moment of his amazing life
