In this episode of the Positive Changemakers podcast, Émilie Meessen, a trained nurse and co-coordinator of Street Nurses, shares her nearly 20-year commitment to supporting and caring for people experiencing homelessness in Brussels.
She reflects on the evolution of the organisation, the concrete actions carried out daily — frontline care in the street, guidance towards housing and employment — and her ambitious vision: ending homelessness is possible.
The interview includes a surprising anecdote: one day, King Philippe’s office called to offer her… the title of baroness. “And no, it wasn’t a joke.”
A powerful interview showing that social change starts with sincere listening and a collective will to act.
