In this episode, I speak with Barry Shoer who is the President, CEO and Director of the Sanctuary Centers of Santa Barbara. Barry shares his own personal story of why he has been inspired to devote his life to taking care of the mentally ill . We also discuss how the Sanctuary Centers started and that the stigma attached to mental illness is unfortunately still alive and well today.
Barry's body of work over the decades has been extensive, but what most impressed me is how Barry continues to be positive and passionate about his work after all these years. He explains why that is possible and why you might want to consider getting active in our community to take care of the mentally ill too.
If you have been complaining about the homeless and/or the mentally ill in SB, listen to this episode to get inspired. Instead of being focused on and frustrated that local or national resources are not improving the situation, you can consider approaching the situation in a more proactive way. Imagine what might be possible if we all stepped into leadership energy and came together to collaborate with and support this population-the ripple effect would be amazing!
Here is the link to The Sanctuary Centers of Santa Barbara so that you can learn more about them and how you can support them.
