TOPIC

On the fourth Sunday of Lent, Jeff C. Borden, in private practice and teaching, and as the Executive Director of the Place of Refuge transitional living program in Vancouver, spoke on the hope found in stories of recovery from addiction. Addictions to drugs, alcohol, or gambling can be the consequence of pain, isolation, peer pressure, or mental health barriers. The society's program — started by several Mennonite churches in South Vancouver — uses an abstinence-based model which includes assisting in the spiritual recovery of the individual. It can take a year or two for people to get well and regain stability in their lives by living in a safe environment with gentle support. [KH]
