Ben's Story - Homelessness Week

Wednesday, 11 August 2021 - 5:00pm to 5:30pm

Following on from Homelessness Week last week, we will be chatting to Ben tonight. Ben has experienced Homelessness multiple times in his life and he is very passionate about reducing stigma and dispelling the myths that people have about homeless people and especially people  sleeping rough.

 

Ben has agreed to come onto the show to talk about some of his Homeless experiences including rough sleeping, and how he and beautiful dog Cami meet their basic needs. Ben will chat to us about the events that led up to him becoming homeless in hopes that sharing his story will help us all to get a better perspective, and to help others who share a similar story. We will also be chatting to Haley from Wellways around some of the supports that Wellways is currently providing and also what we all can do to help those in need.

Wednesday 5:00pm to 5:30pm
