Looking In: Kids who are homeless

ALBUQUERQUE (KRQE) - “Looking in” is a half-hour television program designed to help people understand how homelessness happens, dispel the various myths around homelessness and discover ways to help.

It is hoped this will also help generate discussion about what communities can do to end this situation.

A years worth of research went into the information in the program including “think tanks” with experts in all areas related to being in a homeless situation.

This show is meant to be a catalyst for discussion, which means that there are no right or wrong answers. The purpose is to encourage discussion about the issue so people can discover, for themselves, what is happening in their community and how to get involved in a meaningful way. Young people should be encouraged to actively participate in exchanging ideas and researching related topics of interest.

Portions of the show may not be appropriate for some young people to watch. Please read the script and watch the program prior to sharing it with students. This will make discussion with students easier and more effective.
