Jason Robison: The causes and cure for homelessness - Be a good friend.

In the past few years, billions of dollars have been spent on homelessness in the LA county alone, yet the impact is questionable at best. The numbers have not changed and the root cause is missed by many.



In this episode we dive into a topic near and dear to my heart, trauma, recovery and in particular, homelessness, the root cause and what each and every one of us can do about it.
