Jonisha Toomer, has over a decade of expertise working with individuals battling substance abuse and mental illness. As a court assessor in Maryland for 3 years. Her exposure to the prevalence of DUI/DWI’s in Baltimore City was a shocking awakening. While assessing hundreds of individuals and making referrals over the years, it was found that there was a demand for a DUI education program independent of an outpatient substance abuse treatment clinic. More important there was a need to create a program whose sole goal and focus was to make an impact in the DUI prevention and intervention community; from that notion Right Step LLC was born.
