Welcome to The Right To Shower, where we believe access to cleanliness is a fundamental human right. Joining Darius Baxter this week to speak about the physical and psychological effect of a shower is Dr. Jim Withers and Dr. Liz Frye from the Street Medicine Institute. The trio discuss what street medicine is and how Jim and Liz got involved, as well as Jim’s realization that he was a jerk for providing care only to those who came into a clinic. Listen as Liz describes the impact showering can have on the mental wellbeing of someone without shelter, and how cleanliness is often overlooked in favor of shelter and food. Hear some of the pair’s firsthand accounts of caring for people others do not care about, and the pain of losing a member of the community they had gotten to know. Learn about the power of creating relationships and mutual trust, and how a simple shower can change the course of someone’s life.
Cleanliness is a fundamental right and no one should ever feel like they don’t have access to a way to get clean.
