Description

with guest Kadee Smedley of Covenant House VancouverConsider the people in your life and where they come from— we don’t all get an equal “start”, do we? For too many youth in homelessness, the lack of a safe home, square meal, and warm bed rob them of mental health and personal belief in their future. Our teen and young adult years play a big role in the opportunities we have and how we achieve our goals.Kadee Smedley, ordained minister and spiritual care practitioner at Covenant House Vancouver, shares about the life-changing importance of providing a safe, dignifying space for youth who have experienced trauma and homelessness. A fresh start can lead to a better future.Recommended Resources:Covenant House VancouverEpisode hosted by Shelaine.
