Homelessness stigma: a conversation

Join Homeless Network Scotland for a half-day online course giving you the skills and confidence you need to challenge the pervasive stigma around homelessness.

Location: Teams

By the end of the course, you will be able to:

1. Identify stereotypes in representations of homelessness (images and words)
2. Reduce stigma – playing your role and positive framing
3. Identify barriers for people accessing services including stigma
4. Reflect on the power dynamics in your own role and work

This training is designed for people involved in homelessness strategy and service delivery. It is particularly useful for frontline workers, communications and digital teams. It will also be relevant for community food organisations, journalists and organisations that interact with people experiencing housing insecurity and homelessness.

Please contact the Homeless Network Scotland training team if you want to attend any of our training courses, but don’t have an organisation funding your place. We sponsor some free training places throughout the year for students and people who are unwaged or using homelessness services. The Frontline Network also has a training fund available.
