Zena and Angela give an overview of Highwater House and Under One Roof.
Highwater House is a 22 bed residential care home for people with a mental health illness, and drug or alcohol addictions providing care for adults 18-65 who have experienced trauma.
It is a facility that focuses on working on the emotional needs of people who have and are suffering trauma through their experiences of homelessness rather than stopping people from using drink and drugs.
Supported by St Martins Housing Trust, Under One Roof is a day centre for people enduring long term mental illness and social isolation. Zena touches on how through daily mistreatment and long term abuse those who are living homeless have lost trust in humans, in society and how their work is about rebuilding trusting relationships.
