Join Kosta and his guest: Linda Vickers, Executive Director of Safe Haven Recovery Program and Deanna Jenkins, President of the Board for Safe Haven Recovery Program.

In this episode: Safe Haven was founded in 2023, but your work and service to those seeking to rebuild their lives started long before Safe Haven. Will you take us to the beginning of your story and tell us how you got here? Safe Haven is a 12-month program. A year is a serious commitment to ask of anyone, but especially of someone who might be coming straight from incarceration. What does the first week look like for a new resident, and how do you build the foundation to continue the process? While you’re addressing very practical barriers to returning to an independent life like employment and transportation, you’re also equally focused on spiritual healing. How do you balance the practical and the faith-based sides of recovery? Why is it important to have both?
