Self ❤️ Care
The significance of self-care cannot be overstated. In the midst of our busy lives, tending to our own well-being is not a mere indulgence but a fundamental requirement. It empowers us to refuel our energies, alleviate stress, and bolster our resilience when confronted with life's trials. By making self-care a priority, we acknowledge our intrinsic value and grant ourselves the space to rejuvenate, mend, and flourish. This practice equips us with the tools to manage our emotions, cultivate healthy relationships, and lead a life that is more harmonious and gratifying. Ultimately, self-care stands as an investment in our personal contentment, underscoring that our needs are just as important as those of others.
In the last several months we have been working with various agency to help with client placements into transitional housing.
Help Inn Folk is dedicated to collaborating closely with various referral agencies, cultivating partnerships that allow us to offer a comprehensive placement service for fellow referral partners. Our primary objective revolves around aiding individuals experiencing homelessness by facilitating their transition from the streets to stable housing. This integral aspect of our mission enables us to extend our reach, ensuring that a greater number of unhoused individuals can find placement within supportive shared living environments.

Addressing homelessness is a crucial step toward creating a more compassionate society.
The Signs Of Depression, What To Look For

Identifying depression is crucial for early intervention and support. One key aspect to watch for is persistent changes in mood and behaviour. If you're experiencing prolonged feelings of sadness, hopelessness, or emptiness, it might be a sign of depression. Withdrawal from social activities, hobbies, or interactions with loved ones can also be indicative. Keep an eye out for disruptions in sleep patterns, whether it's insomnia or excessive sleeping, as well as notable changes in appetite or weight. Difficulty concentrating, making decisions, or remembering things can signal cognitive changes linked to depression. Additionally, recurrent thoughts of self-harm or suicide should always be taken seriously and addressed promptly. It's important to remember that depression can manifest differently in individuals. Some may exhibit irritability and restlessness instead of classic sadness. Physical symptoms like unexplained aches, fatigue, or a general lack of energy can also be red flags. While these signs can point toward depression, they might also be linked to other issues, so an open and non-judgmental conversation is crucial. If you suspect someone is struggling with depression, offering your support, encouraging them to seek professional help, and providing a safe space for them to express their feelings can make a significant difference in their journey towards healing.
About 582,000 Americans are experiencing homelessness, according to 2022 Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) data. That’s 18 per 10,000 people nationally, but in some states, rates skew as high as 44 per 10,000.
California, Vermont, and Oregon have the highest rates of homelessness across the 50 states. Washington, DC, however, had the highest rate overall at 65.6 per 10,000 people. Mississippi had the lowest, at 4.1 per 10,000 people.
In terms of sheer numbers, California had the most people experiencing homelessness: 171,521. New York had the nation’s second-most, 74,178, followed by Florida with 25,959.
Homelessness isn’t restricted to urban areas. Vermont is the most rural state, with 65% of its population residing in rural areas, and had one of the highest rates of homelessness in 2022.
Native Hawaiians and Pacific Islanders have the highest rate of homelessness in the US at 121 per 10,000 people, reflected in the high homelessness rates in Hawaii. This could partially be because of Hawaii’s lack of affordable housing. Many native Hawaiians are also on wait lists for home land leases. The most recent devastation of the fires that took place in Maui town of Lahaina has left thousands of people sheltering in cars, churches, evacuation shelters and the local airport. They were already struggling with homelessness and the fires have made the situation worse.
Our deepest sympathies reach out to those who are enduring immense suffering, displacement, and hardship in the wake of this devastating incident. ❤️ Sincerely Help Inn Folk Team
