description | Homeless Persons with Mental Illness (HPMI) represent one of the most marginalized communities of the society. The psycho-social impact of the Coronavirus pandemic has been significant on the entire population but causes more suffering in the vulnerable population. During the initial phase of the pandemic in India, strict measures were taken to contain the infection that led to certain unique challenges for HPMI and in their reintegration with society. The series of cases highlight the multiple facets of problems faced and ways to counter them so as to effectively rehabilitate HPMI, with focus on the pandemic at hand. The involvement of a multidisciplinary team, utilization of technological advances and promoting effective liaison with various public sectors are suggested as the way forward. |
