Call to Mind Live: Impacts of Homelessness on Youth Mental Health
About 5,000 young people are currently experiencing homelessness in Los Angeles County. The reasons vary from abuse or conflict at home to housing and economic insecurity experienced by families. Now, after more than a year of a global pandemic, many advocates worry those numbers could climb.
On May 27, KPCC will host Call to Mind Live: Impacts of Homelessness on Youth Mental Health, a Well Beings Virtual Tour Event. Take Two’s A Martínez and special guests will explore the mental health effects on homeless youth and talk about the reasons why young people end up on the streets and what help is available - from finding secure housing to trauma therapy.
