Healing Hands, a publication of the HCH Clinicians’ Network, melds scientific knowledge with the experience of clinicians working in Health Care for the Homeless. The Network’s Communications Committee selects and prioritizes topics for this bimonthly publication, which reflects issues of concern to direct service providers and program administrators who serve people experiencing homelessness. This page lists all of the issues by topics—medical treatment, behavioral health care, special populations, service delivery/program evaluation, peer support and advocacy.
