Delancey Street Foundation

"Where hitting the bottom begins the climb to new heights"



It was in Bo's talk in Kerygma's The Feast that he cited Mimi Silbert, the founder of Delancey Street Foundation. Bo explains that people are not really resistant to change, but are instead, resistant to being changed. So, if we really want to change people, the most we can do is to actually start a relationship with them. (And isn't this right - that we change and are changed by people without our knowing?)

With no psychologists, staffs, nurses, or guards, Delancey patients find their way to recovery. Read more about one of the most successful foundations, and the miracle worker Mimi Silbert is. :)
