Support beyond the housing:the importance of social life

Mr. M.* is accompanied in his home by the Housing First team, after he moved in following 20 years without a roof over his head. The way he adapts to his home, without being a long calm river, is still a success. He got settled, developed new habits, and does not even think of going back. This is a sociable person, who likes to be surrounded, tell his stories, talk about his setbacks and his passions.

From crisis to reconstruction: the journeys of three patients

Recently, three patients we follow in their homes, were hospitalized.

They each lived alone, and all faced physical, mental and addiction problems. They were strongly opposed to our advice to live in supervised housing, which would have been much more appropriate.

It was a moment when time stood still

I went with a colleague to visit two brothers we follow in their homes. They are quite young compared to our usual patients. We had agreed with to meet at one of them and go to the cemetery to visit their mother's grave. They want to go there together every January on the anniversary of her death. Once there, one after the other observed a moment’s contemplation. My colleague and I stayed aside so as not to disturb them.
