For many homeless women, mental health issues are a major barrier to finding stability. Conditions such as depression, anxiety, PTSD, and substance use disorders are common among those who experience homelessness, yet they often go untreated due to lack of access to healthcare.
At Open Door Women’s Shelter, we see how the stress of homelessness can exacerbate mental health issues, making it even harder for women to get back on their feet. Without access to mental health services, these women face an uphill battle in their journey to secure housing and employment. That’s why we provide mental health support as a critical component of our services.
Mental health is closely linked to homelessness, and addressing these issues is essential in breaking the cycle. Access to counseling, addiction recovery programs, and emotional support can make all the difference in helping women regain control of their lives.
