Kate Moss's Recent Activity

"Women Rough Sleepers is an EU DAPHNE-funded project which aims to increase the knowledge base related to domestic abuse suffered by Women Rough Sleepers. As part of the research, in the UK, we found that mental health issues for female rough sleepers were very prominent and all those we interviewed were effected, ranging from depression to more serious mental illnesses such as bi polarity and also permanent mental health issues arising out of long term drug and alcohol abuse. Many were or had been self harmers.
