Yorkton woman shares her path to living a sober life [Video]

Yorkton, Sask. –

One local woman found her path to living a sober life after coming across Yorkton’s emergency shelter – Bruno’s Place.

“They treated me with kindness, they were caring. They didn’t judge me,” Brooke Jasper expressed, referring to her four day stay at the shelter.

The shelter offers six non-medical detox beds and helps connect people to services and treatment centres located across Saskatchewan.

While struggling with addiction and relapsing a few times, Jasper said having support from staff pushed her to not give up.

“It was like a home that I didn’t have,” she told CTV News.

“I was homeless on the streets and they gave me that shelter and that roof over my head. Their kindness and caring played a huge part into my recovery because it’s like someone did care. I always thought no one cared, but they did care about me.”
