This two-day training provides participants with methods and strategies for using cognitive-behavioral and complex trauma frameworks to gain a greater understanding of why homeless patients behave in ways that seem self-destructive. The training also enables participants to understand their own emotions and behaviors related to these complex situations. As a result, and with sustained practice, participants acquire and improve on skills related to metacognitive awareness and perceiving small increments in change.

The Patient Care Intervention Center had its stakeholder meeting on September 2nd 2014 , to discuss progress made on the project. We had representation from City of Houston, County Budget Office, County Jail, Greater Houston Healthconnect, Harris Health System, Healthcare for the Homeless-Houston, Houston Recovery Center, and Mental Health and Mental Retardation Authority.
