Trauma-informed holistic care for people experiencing homelessness in Northumberland and North Tyneside
Sheena Ramsay (Principal Investigator)
This study involved colleagues from Newcastle University, Northumbria NHS Foundation Trust, North Tyneside Local Authority, Northumberland County Council, citizens advice, and homeless charities.
Individuals affected by homelessness have very poor mental health. Rural and coastal areas like Northumberland and North Tyneside have increasing numbers of people facing homelessness. These individuals often attend hospital emergency, and have complex problems, such as poverty, unemployment, housing problems, and domestic violence. A major problem is that support for these problems is not always joined-up making it harder to get mental health and social support needed. Our aim is to find ways to provide joined-up support for people experiencing homelessness in Northumberland and North Tyneside.
