Jack Briggs, Maj Gen (ret) and CEO of Springs Rescue Mission

Colorado Springs (COS) is leading the nation in addressing homelessness in its community by understanding and operationalizing a unique approach with individuals who have fallen on very difficult times. Far from enabling individuals to remain in their circumstance, Springs Rescue Mission has pioneered highly personal, laser-focused programs that meet people where they are and provide agency to lead them up on the the platform of a renewed life of purpose. 

Retired Major General Jack Briggs, EdD and Chief Executive Officer helps us understand what "toxic empathy" is and how we as individuals in the community can respond to homeless encounters that lead to better outcomes for the individual and the community. 

Learn what Dr. Briggs means when he refers to "getting to see God at work in the lives of individuals everyday" and why COS is truly setting the national standard for addressing homelessness effectively.
