He drew attention to the fact that the homeless should be provided comprehensively. - Must be conducted interviews with the homeless - they can lead the priests and psychologists, as an essential element of rehabilitation is occupational therapy - said pieces. - There is a good example of a kind of rehabilitation center in the monastery of Nil deserts in Tver, there managed to get people back to normal life by providing homeless normal living conditions and choice in labor.

Homeless wearing a long garment, sometimes can not be removed without surgical care socks, as the latter literally grow into the skin. Due to the large range of psychological problems among the homeless of their rehabilitation, according Sedushkinoy, takes a long time. - From those who have lost the house, you need to be very careful and patient as they slowly go out of their lost state. It is necessary to notice everything, even the smallest improvement in their psyche, as, for example, attempts to stray yourself ask for help from outsiders - drew attention Sedushkina. - The most important factor in the rehabilitation of homeless people is to provide them overnight. The fact that it is safe to sleep, calms people: you need to provide the church need the opportunity.
