The Homeless

I was in Superquinn earlier and on my way out, at the exit, there was a guy collecting for the homeless. He asked the guy ahead of me "would you like to support the homeless" Guy turns around and says "no, why should I help the junkies, all them homeless take drugs, you're worse for collecting for them." This got me…

You are right. Though the one i was it was good mostly.

A lot of the people there had mental problems but not bad enough to keep them in hospital for i think.

I felt safe in that one.

That is true, but unfortunately there are some people in shelters and other homeless services that are suffering from serious mental health problems, and are easy prey for others. The only good thing about being in a shelter in this regard is that a worker might be able to flag it.

But in general, these people are in need of a whole other level or professional healthcare, but won't be touched if addiction issues are in involved or if their lifelong mental health problem was only diagnosed in adulthood.
