| 0:00.0 | Hades Irving the Seniors, recently a former student of mine, named Andy Wu, reached out to me, |
| 0:06.4 | saying that he has been working with homeless people in Seattle as a marriage of family therapist. |
| 0:12.3 | And I consider this topic to be very important, so I had him on the podcast to talk about this, |
| 0:17.8 | and he's been working on the front lines with families, homeless people who are trying to get |
| 0:23.6 | back on their feet, trying to recover from PTSD, domestic violence, this kind of thing, drug addiction. |
| 0:30.0 | And he has effectively worked with his families and the team that works with him to get these people |

| 1:36.4 | associate, I graduated from Antioch in September of 2019. And I've been working in Seattle since |
| 1:43.2 | as a almost family social worker therapist. And what would you like to share? You reached |
| 1:49.3 | out to me and said that you wanted to talk with the listeners about something. What would you like |
| 1:53.6 | to talk about? Everything that I've been seeing in the homeless services world and how really it |
