Written by Brady Bryson; Narrated by Roni Orlina; Artwork by Adrian Cruz; Produced by DMH + UCLA Public Mental Health PartnershipSidewalk Stories is inspired by real-life relationships between an unhoused person and their mental health outreach provider on the Los Angeles County Homeless Outreach and Mobile Engagement team, known as HOME. Though identifying details have been changed, the heart of these stories remains intact. Their work is a beautiful reminder that by offering a helping hand, a listening ear, and leading with empathy, we can inspire hope and help others know that they are never alone.
