Interview with Matthew Bennett of Trauma Informed Lens Podcast
I enjoyed reading Jay S. Levy’s interview on Helping the Homeless via the RTS Journal by Ernest Dempsey.
His excerpt enhanced awareness of complexities and categories of the
homeless, highlighting difficulties to provide adequate, recovery programs.
The interview was for me a profound reminder to pursue our social
responsibilities, challenging the broader mindset as experienced in;
Butch’s Narrative: The Meaning of Loss Jay S. Levy and his new book
Homeless Narrative & Pretreatment Pathway’s. The excerpt portrayed a man’s
hunger, to feel dignified, while living in harmony with Mother Nature. I was
touched. Thus, sharing the persona of one man’s loss is another’s gained
awareness.
Fascinating interview with Dr. Alan Chartock of WAMC in which, Jay Levy, MSW, LICSW drawing upon his twenty plus years of experience working with homeless individuals, provides a clear and compelling window in on the many faces of homelessness and the the challenges faced by outreach workers attempting to engage this hard to reach population. The listener is provided with a riveting first hand account of how the author, with great compassion and skill, works with two homeless individuals, Old Man Ray and Andrew, to gain their trust enabling them to accept much needed services.
