  2. Choose one of the following questions to answer as part of your initial post.

    2. What were some of the barriers John faced in accessing medical care and mental health care?
    3. How does homelessness and mental illness intersect? Do you believe homelessness may develop because of a mental health issue, or do you believe those who become homeless eventually sink into psychological despair?
