Connecting the Dots Between Mental Health & Homelessness Webinar
Homelessness and poor mental health are often discussed separately. The evidence, however, tells a different story. New research commissioned by ALABARÉ reveals that 69% of people believe homelessness and poor mental health are closely linked, while more than half see the impact of both issues in their local communities. For those working across housing, health, social care and commissioning, this presents an important challenge. If people's experiences are interconnected, shouldn't our responses be too?
