great overall course in discussing this population, however, not always transferable to other environments. I am working in the acute care environment in a smaller community without many community support programs. trying to figure out how I might activate some of these ideas within the confines of stays 1-5 days. It was a paradigm shift to consider that the hospital could be a traumatic environment for the homeless person in itself. sometimes it seems obvious with the interactions. but..

Presenter was highly knowledgeable and content highly relevant to the population with whom I primarily work within an inpatient psychiatric hospital. I've always been interested in what discharge looks like for our pts and how OT could support health and wellbeing within the community for this population. Healthcare for the Homeless is an inspiring model that more people should know about. So good to have a conversation that doesn't stigmatize this population, but looks to help.

Working in the acute care environment we see homeless clients from time to time and I often question what OT can provide especially post discharge ; this course provided me with a different outlook and a more positive approach for this clientele. This course would be beneficial for our social workers and case managers as well.

This topic was my master's thesis way back in 2005. I interviewed people experiencing homelessness at a free clinic in Salt Lake City. I used the COPM to interview. With the small sample I had, I felt discouraged because I saw a lot of learned helplessness. But after watching your presentation, I can see how being trauma-informed can be helpful in addressing learned helplessness. I can also see there is so much that OTs can do in this setting! Great work!
