Today, a new videocast from the HOOD project is on-air, with our partner the sociologist Pedro Perista. From their experience in Lisbon with CESIS (Social Studies Center for Social Intervention) and from the first findings of the HOOD project, Pedro Perista debates the importance of time in the work with homeless people. Early intervention appears to be a recommended strategy to be adopted by public and private social entities. This video introduces some core elements of early intervention, which will be completed in a second video to be released soon.
