Chronic homelessness with Dr. Vicky Stergiopoulos

“It's visible. It's in our streetcars and buses, our subways our streets, and it's hard to ignore.” Homelessness seems to be more prevalent now than ever before. But why? And is there a solution? Joining Dr. David Gratzer to explore the challenges and changes in the chronically homeless population over the years is Dr. Vicky Stergiopoulos, a former Physician-in-Chief of CAMH and an internationally recognized expert on chronic homelessness. During their conversation we learn about: The importance of providers who understand the realities of homelessness. The evolving substance use patterns among the homeless population. The details on the longest randomized control trial on homelessness ever performed. And just how close Finland is to ending homelessness in the coming years. THANKS FOR LISTENING!
