Time:        1:00 PM - 2:30 PM

Guests, Professionals, Advocates & People Experiencing Homelessness are welcomed!
Homelessness across the nation and in Durango continues to be a vexing problem for those without housing and communities. To find solutions to assist the homeless in our communities, we need accurate information about the homeless, viable solutions to a variety of issues, and the larger community in which homelessness exists.
 
This workshop will examine the research on the psychology of homelessness nationally and in Durango, effective treatment models, and the how the larger communities view homelessness and its impact on moving forward. 
 
The session will include time for questions and discussion.
