Having just participated again in HOPE 2020, counting the homeless, it is a very educational, enlightening, and rewarding experience. Each team that counts a designated area has a professional team leader with them. I have learned from them over the years that as hard as it is, please do not give them food, money, etc. (I have been guilty) but instead call 311 so that a professional can engage with them. The goal is to get them off the streets and into the system that can aid them. And we realize mental illness is a very large contributing factor. As my team leader told me on Monday, there is a story and that is what they try to uncover. As far as what we neighbors can do, be kind to them but call 311. And btw, has anybody seen Russell? We are worried about him. — Carla Bauer on Seen & Heard: Groundhog Day at Duane Park

i am not a doctor nor do i attempt to portray one, but mental illness is the "elephant in the room" until we -i mean society- have some kind of program to treat the mental illness that most often accompanies homelessness, we are just putting bandages on wounds — MADELINE LANCIANI on Seen & Heard: Groundhog Day at Duane Park
