USA. The street psychiatrist: Earning trust with vulnerable patients (Video)
When psychiatrist Liz Frye first encounters a potential patient, she knows she is entering the conversation at a disadvantage. She works with people who are unhoused and living on the streets — many who’ve likely had negative experiences with health care workers in the past.
“It’s important for me to offer a different experience for the person sleeping outside and to recognize that they have no reason to trust me,” said Frye, who has been a street psychiatrist for 16 years, first in Atlanta and more recently, in Pittsburgh. She is also chair of the board of directors at the Street Medicine Institute. (Stat News, USA, 19.03.2025, Video, 02:53, für den Text ist eine Anmeldung erforderlich)
