COVID-19 and the fate of homeless persons with concurrent disorders

COVID-19 has had an unprecedented impact on society, but the effects on those struggling with homelessness, addictions and mental health problems (concurrent disorders) are even more damaging. At the same time, service providers are limited in their ability to respond as the precautions required by health protocols limit interaction with their clients.

Dr. Michael Young, Director of the School of Humanitarian Studies and Program Head of the Master of Arts in Justice Studies, and Eva Silden, a faculty member within the Diploma in Criminal Justice Program at Camosun College, engage in dialogue with panelists Evan, Lisa, Nicolas and Todd, on the effects of COVID-19 protocols on social service providers and police who interact with homeless persons on a regular basis and explore the future of providing services to those in need as we move forward.
