🚨 Homelessness Hidden in Plain Sight: Unpacking the Invisible Crisis 🚨 Homelessness isn't always what we think it is., it's not the person on the street corner but the unnoticed struggle of those around us. A close friend recently revealed that he had spent several months couch-surfing after losing his job, a reality he had hidden while maintaining his professional demeanor online. Here's what surprised me: Many homeless individuals hold jobs yet can't afford housing. Families with children are one of the fastest-growing homeless populations. Homelessness can often result from unexpected events like medical emergencies or family crises. We must shift our perspective and recognize that homelessness can affect anyone, even those we consider our peers or colleagues. 💡 How can we, as professionals, help make a difference? Let's start the conversation. Share your thoughts, experiences, or initiatives you've seen work. Together, we can bring this hidden crisis into the light. 🌟 Call to Action If you want to make a difference, consider donating to SAGAesc.org or volunteering with our organizations that support those experiencing homelessness. Let's work together to uncover and address homelessness hid. #Homelessness #SharingOnWheels#InvisibleStruggles #SocialImpact #ProfessionalAwareness #HumanityFirst

We’re hardwired to need social connections. By talking about it, we can support ourselves and others. Everyday we have activities that connect physically disabled adults at Paul's Place. It reduces isolation while improving health and wellbeing. For almost two years, Liz and Clare enjoy playing kurling together every Thursday. They’re always on the same team, called the blue team. They’ve perfected scoring tens to beat the other team together! However, during the afternoon they compete against each other at Rummikub and Dominoes. Liz and Clare said, “we work together during Kurling, but support each other to think when competing at Rummikub and Dominoes. It occupies our minds, and we feel less alone when we work and support each other.” Small moments of connection can significantly affect our happiness and sense of belonging. If you’re feeling isolated, please find an activity group for connecting with others. It supports our members to live life to the full. Finding this type of connection is vital during #LonelinessAwarenessWeek Thank you Marmalade Trust for hosting #LonelinessAwarenessWeek We work hard to make sure physically disabled adults feel connected and have a sense of belonging.
