Invited Speaker
Solving Global Homelessness
United Nations, 2018
Jane was honored to be an invited speader at this UN event about global homelessness. Jane focused on deconstructing outdated misperceptions of homelessness. These false generalizations are not fact-based in a world in which many people suddenly lose their jobs and homes as a result of crime, natural disaster, and discrimination (and not because they don't want to work or are mentally ill). False stigmas, over-emphasis on old-fashioned pharmaceutical-only treatments, corrupt practices with the DHS System, and psychiatric malpractice and abuse are the real problems. The correct approach to solving homelessness is implementation of policies designed to prevent it in the first place, and holistic vocational, physical health, and mental health support.
