LETTER FROM THE DIRECTOR - GARY KENNEY |
|
Greetings, from Safe Harbor of Erin.
Here at the Erin facility we continue to focus on the betterment of our program operations with emphasis on client care such as: working with our intensive outpatient care program (IOP). This quarter we have instituted a second day time IOP session. Now we are providing an evening and day time IOP session for all of our clients in recovery. I would like to introduce Mr. John Ludwig as our IOP Coordinator and counselor, and Mr. Steven Johnson and Mrs. Tatjana Gaston as our additional IOP counselors. The efforts of our IOP staff has greatly increased the level of care for the clients at Safe Harbor of Erin.
This past quarter we have also put emphasis on the quality of our curriculum and class material. I am thankful for a staff of team members, who have worked on better class presentation material. Their efforts has helped our clients increase their learning and understanding of addiction and recovery. We continue to be innovative in making sure our clients experience the dynamics of change.
During this quarter Safe Harbor of Erin's admissions coordinator, Ms. Anna Jones, is transitioning to a new career opportunity. During Ms. Jones' tenure with Safe Harbor of Erin, she has brought our safe harbor Erin's Admissions to a level of excellence which is required at all Safe Harbors. We are thankful for her steadfast professionalism, and instrumental care that she has given to our records control, coordination with outside agencies and maintaining our client population reporting requirements. Because of her efforts our communication with our partnering recovery communities has been outstanding. We wish and pray for her continued success as she embarks upon her next mission. Thank you Ms. Anna Jones.
Also, we take this opportunity to welcome Ms. Marie Barlow as our new Admissions Coordinator. She brings with her the experience, passion and drive to continue the excellence within our Admissions Department. Ms. Barlow will be a great addition to our team here at Safe Harbor of Erin.
Finally, we are ever so thankful and appreciative of the partnering recovery agencies that support us in our efforts to provide a safe and quality environment for all our clients. In addition thank you to the Erin community, supporting business, and churches that continue to support us in our efforts. To what you all do contributes to the success of all we do. Thank you.

SAFE HARBOR OF TIPTON COUNTY COMING SOON! |
|
Safe Harbor of Tipton County is set to open June 1, 2021. Our new facility is located on a 20 acre campus, which was built in 1905 as Dunlap Orphanage. One of the founders of the orphanage said that they wanted to build a place to see little hands discover what God has for them. We are proud to continue that vision as an orphanage, the only difference is the hands are bigger!
We will be able to house 74 men in our Safe Harbor of Tipton County Program and 16 women in our Fresh Start Program at the new property in Brighton, TN. This campus will also house our Administrative Offices. We are so excited to be able to expand to this beautiful location and continue the work of Safe Harbor that was started over 25 years ago.
We want to continue to shine the Light of Jesus into the darkness of this world to see these now bigger hands discover the freedom and life God has for them! God’s ways are higher than our ways; His thoughts are higher than our thoughts. It’s overwhelming to think back to every step He ordered for this moment. We give Him glory, Amen!

CLIENT OF THE QUARTER - THOMAS PARTIN |
|
"My name is Thomas Glen Partin and before I got to Safe Harbor I was lost in my addiction. I was getting arrested and running the streets. Moving from house to house and living to just get my next high and not caring who I hurt in the process. Every day was the same thing and I knew I needed help and really at the end wanted help. I was arrested two days in a row and my mother got in touch with a man by the name of Allen Burnett (life liner). He came to my jail and asked if I wanted help and I surely said yes sir. This is when he said I have a bed for you at Safe Harbor in Erin, TN. When I got to Safe Harbor the staff was very kind and didn't judge me, but prayed with me. I started classes and this got my mind looking in the right direction and within a week I received a job I like and began saving money and today I am ready to graduate and my life looks nothing like it did. I have a good chance of beating the charges held against me and I am reaping and sowing good fruit here at Safe Harbor because it is good soil." |
