Kate & David,

Hartford Dismas House Resident, David, joins host, Jeff Backus, and his step-mother, Kate, for a conversation about the shortcoming of the American mental health care system, how he found his way from Hawaii to jail in Vermont, and the benefit of the Dismas community.

Dismas of Vermont provides therapeutic community to men and women leaving incarceration and reconciling with the community. One of the main features of the Dismas model is our community dinners in which volunteers prepare and join us for dinner and story sharing.

This podcast is made possible by the guidance and technical support of JAM.
