Homeless clients need information to promote health and to use pertinent health care resources. Client education may include topics such as personal hygiene, recognizing and treating infestation, thermoregulatory disorders, tuberculosis screening, respiratory problems, sexually transmitted infections, signs of domestic violence, emergency services, and substance abuse issues.
