Velvet Mangan's Journey: From Addiction to Safe Harbor Founder

So everything at safe harbor is everything that I've worked very, very hard to get on my own and to manage from my own recovery process and what I've found that most people need.
Imagine battling addiction and emerging stronger, not just for yourself but for countless others. That's the story of Velvet Mangan, the inspiring guest on this episode of 'One Hour AT A Time'. Guest host John McAndrew sits down with Velvet to uncover her path from personal struggle to becoming a beacon of hope for young women facing similar battles.
Velvet opens up about her own journey through addiction and recovery, which led her to establish Safe Harbor Treatment Center for Women in Southern California. Velvet's mission is clear: to provide trauma-informed care that addresses a spectrum of issues including eating disorders, self-esteem, love, addiction, and codependency. She emphasizes the importance of evidence-based practices like cognitive-behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy, alongside the role of spirituality in the healing process.
Through her heartfelt narrative, Velvet shares how Safe Harbor has evolved and the profound impact it has had on women's lives. But Velvet's work doesn't stop at the treatment center. She is actively involved in outreach efforts, continually striving to break the stigma and barriers that women face in the grips of addiction. Her vision for the future of Safe Harbor is filled with hope and a relentless commitment to supporting women in their recovery journeys.
This episode is a must-listen for anyone looking to understand the power of resilience and the transformative impact of compassion and dedicated care.
