On this edition of our program, we offer an engaging conversatiuon with Deborah Hunter, a Behavioral Health Rehab Specialist and Case Manager at Family & Children's Services here in Tulsa. She's been with F&CS since 2011, and she is also a longtime and award-winning poet. Interestingly, Hunter also works as a social worker for the Tulsa City-County Library, mainly at the TCCL's Central Branch (and 5th and Denver). She tells us about her work at the libary -- helping library visitors who are confronting homelessness, joblessness, mental illness, food insecurity, and other issues -- and also shares a couple of her poems.
