This week I chose to focus on a theme that has come up frequently this week with Earley. This is the problem of homelessness and mental health. Many of our mental health patients have been neglected to the point that homelessness has become a real problem. Many of the people in homeless encampments face many horrors daily such as violence or disease. The video highlights that the massive amount of homeless people in cities are beginning to show people that we are not doing a good job at providing mental health treatment. Also, the types of places that these homeless people are residing in are places that can cause danger or abuse resulting in imprisonment, feeding the vicious cycle once again.
