Book Discussion: Rough Sleepers by Tracy Kidder
Advertisement
Join us for the next session in Home Sweet Home's Learning Series as we discuss Rough Sleepers by Tracy Kidder.
This powerful and deeply human book tells the story of Dr. Jim O'Connell, a Harvard-trained physician who built a groundbreaking program to care for Boston's unhoused population, including those living on the streets. Through years of following Dr. O'Connell and his team, Kidder offers a compassionate look at street medicine, the realities of chronic homelessness, and the importance of treating every person with dignity.
Together, we'll explore:
• Street-level outreach and community-based models of care for people experiencing chronic homelessness.
• The intersection of homelessness, healthcare access, mental health, and addiction.
• The lived experiences of patients and healthcare providers.
• What dignity, belonging, and radical compassion look like in practice.
