Helping Mentally Ill Homeless People: A Manual for Shelter Workers

By Mary E. Stefl

This book was developed by a task force of the APHA Mental Health section and is intended for shelter workers and volunteers on the firing line-those who have regular contact with homeless mentally ill people in shelters or in outreach activities. The book can be referred to on the job as a useful guide to recognizing diffferent kinds of mental illness, using the mental health system to get help for shelter guests, helping guests obtain medical benefits, and becoming an advocate for this special group of clients.
