But knowing what to do can be daunting: isn’t homelessness really just about mental health? Aren’t most unhoused people addicts? And what can I really do about it, anyway?\nThe truth: No, not reallly—and more importantly, you can do a lot.\nHomelessness isn’t a choice, a lifestyle, or something that happens to people who “deserve” it—and myths or questions surrounding who loses their housing, why it happens, and what we can each do to support our unhoused neighbors can sometimes prevent us from showing up and taking action… even when we know we want to help.\nYou’ll learn:\nWhy person-first ideas—not punitive interventions—have the most impact\nHow most of what we’ve been told about our unhoused neighbors is wrong\nTop takeaways, shareable stats, and “How to Help in 60 Seconds” Quick Actions for making a difference today\nHow to unpack your own preconceptions and hidden assumptions with quizzes, prompts, and exercises\nAbout the importance of relationships and connections in ending homelessness\nWho “the homeless” really are—and that they’re not who you think\nHow systemic forces shape the conditions that cause people to lose housing, jobs, healthcare, and dignity\nIn When We Walk By: The Workbook, authors Kevin Adler and Donald Burnes offer empowering, inspiring exercises that will help you gauge where you can make a difference—and help you build a comprehensive understanding of the intersecting issues that create and perpetuate homelessness in America today.","brand":"North Atlantic Books,U.S.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52345847611680,"sku":"9798889843276","price":16.14,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0753\/2812\/7264\/files\/9798889843276_3097846.jpg?v=1789298047","url":"https:\/\/bookcorner.com\/products\/when-we-walk-by-the-workbook-donald-r-burnes-9798889843276","provider":"The Book Corner","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
