We need to think of you. Change can be a grieving process.
What happens when a person turns their recovery journey into a mission to help others? In this episode of 'Voices in Recovery', David Lewry sits down with Chaz, the founder of Be The Change YYC, an outreach and advocacy group dedicated to supporting the homeless. Chaz opens up about his childhood, including his time in Children's Services, and how these experiences shaped his path to recovery and advocacy.
He talks about the power of forgiveness and acceptance, sharing how he rebuilt relationships with his parents despite a challenging upbringing. The conversation also dives into the struggles faced by the homeless community during the pandemic and critiques government policies that have impacted their well-being. Chaz passionately discusses the importance of creating safe spaces for the homeless and fostering empathy and understanding within the community.
His message is clear: change is essential, and it often involves a process of grieving and growth. This episode is a heartfelt exploration of resilience, compassion, and the transformative power of recovery.
