As part of CMU’s Medicine program, students have the opportunity to train in rural towns across Michigan where homelessness, poverty, and minimal resources are very common. Not only is there a significant population of people in these areas who require resources for basic life needs, however, also desperately need resources for individuals with mental health disorders as well. Jamsheed became passionate about advocating for people struggling with mental health while training with the rural population. As a student, Jamsheed has had the ability understand learn about the challenges this population faces in accessing resources and care.

When people think of poverty and homelessness, they rarely think about the small rural towns which have limited resources and education. As a member of this foundation, Jamsheed plans to bring more attention to the needs of these areas and groups of people. Through education, volunteering, and kindness, the individuals in these areas struggling with many life challenges can have better access to the assistance they truly need.
