  • Bonus: Houselessness among Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander Veterans

    Bonus: Houselessness among Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander Veterans
    Jul 22 2024
    This month, we’re joined by Drs. Marissa Sia and Sara Wong, clinical psychologists from the VA Pacific Islands Healthcare System to learn about houselessness among Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander Veterans.

    Our guests talk about cultural humility, the negative impacts of generational trauma, and why the term “houselessness” is a better fit for this community.

    Veterans who are homeless or at imminent risk of homelessness are strongly encouraged to contact the National Call Center for Homeless Veterans at (877) 4AID-VET (877-424-3838) for assistance.
