Our History
Brighter, Behavior, Choices Inc., NFP was inspired by a tragedy that changed many lives dramatically. This tragedy caused Founder Shelia Rickman and Executive Director La Shaun Rickman-Dillon to reflect on the violence and drug use that plunge families into cycles. They attended several workshops and seminars that described the difficulties women experienced to become productive individuals in society and the need for Recovery Supportive Service Programs, Employment, Domestic Violence Intervention, Prevention, and Awareness, Affordable Housing. They saw how these personal barriers stagnated one's growth and opportunities for a "Second Chance" as a productive member in our society. Upon receiving numerous telephone calls from the Illinois Department of Women's Justice Services in 2006 concerning the desperately needed assistance for female ex-offenders and personal experiences, they felt compelled to redefine Brighter, Behavior, Choices Inc., which was founded in May of 2006.
