BURR RIDGE – Riley Jones III serves as a peer support advocate for the Rosecrance Resilience program, offered by Rosecrance Therapies. This program provides critical support for individuals in high-risk, high-stress professions, such as those in the construction industry, who may be struggling with mental health, substance use, or both.

As a firefighter in Chicago, Riley understands the challenges that individuals in demanding professions face in accessing the support they need. He recognizes that misconceptions and cultural beliefs can often prevent someone from seeking help and lead to struggling in silence. He works diligently to bridge this gap, offering compassionate guidance and support to those who need it. He actively connects individuals to appropriate treatment options, empowering them to embark on a journey toward lasting recovery.

Through his efforts, Riley helps them reclaim a sense of wholeness and fulfillment in their lives, enabling them to return to their professions with renewed strength and resilience.
