Help support LA's Homeless Community, Santa Monica and Downtown: The People Concern, the new name for the unified efforts of Lamp and OPCC, continues to be one of LA’s most valuable resources in helping the homeless, including victims of domestic abuse, veterans, people with mental illness and LGBTQ youth.  
Requirements: To participate you must complete a mandatory 40-hour training program held in the fall or spring. Volunteers help out in crisis intervention, peer counseling, and empowerment playgroups for children. Sojourn relies on volunteers for everything from 24-hour hotlines, transportation, translation, clerical work, donation sorting, and a horticultural therapy program. If you have the time to commit and a goal to help women in need, Sojourn is the place for you.

These nurses also educate patients' families about the disability and provide emotional support. I choose the career because i really looking forward to becoming a developmental disability nurse. There's a lot of reasons why i want to become this type of nurse first one is because i would really love to help people that have disabilities and not only them but to the family and let them know that even though they have differences than other people or that they can't do something that other people could do very easy that only in their minds they could do whatever they want to do just because they have a disability it doesn't mean that  they can't do something.
