oin a conversation with physician Naheed Dosani and social worker Michael A. Light as they reflect on their experiences witnessing profound injustice for those facing economic inequality, housing insecurity and end of life. They will share advice on strategies to cope with despair and opportunities to become better allies for some of the most vulnerable populations.
Since the 1980s, homelessness continues to be on the rise due to many contributing factors: the high cost of living, systemic poverty, healthcare access, and more. And those who are unhoused experience intersecting forms of oppression and discrimination as people of color, LGBTQ+, veterans, survivors of sexual and physical abuse, immigrants, formerly incarcerated, individuals with disabilities, those experiencing mental illness, and those struggling with addiction. Most minority groups, especially Black and Indigenous people, experience homelessness at higher rates than whites, largely due to long-standing historical and structural racism.
What small steps can we take to address homelessness, racism, xenophobia, and violence against the most marginalized? Let’s gather to acknowledge the challenges and find opportunities to be of service.
Following their discussion, we invite you to join small peer-led breakout room sessions guided by the following prompts:
If you have experienced struggle as an advocate - either as a family caregiver or as a professional - can you identify any new pathways or insights to experience more peace?
Is there an action - even a small, sweet step - to navigate the grief, heartache, injustice, or discrimination you may be experiencing directly or vicariously?
