In the second episode of our series, we speak with Dr. Cheryl Forchuk, a University Professor at Arthur Labatt Family School of Nursing (Western University); and Scientist and Assistant Director at Lawson Health Research Institute. Cheryl discusses the public health risks and barriers faced by clients of shelters and mental health facilities. She describes how the lived experiences of shelter clients can reveal significant gaps in public health responses, which can inform more effective collaborations and best-practices for shelters.
