Division Chief, Margot Kushel, MD, on What Makes a House a Home

Author Andrea Brody interviews Dr. Margot Kushel in an article published January 19th, 2025 on KCRW.com. In her article, "Disaster recovery: Trauma, homelessness, and loss from the LA wildfires," Brody interviews Dr. Kushel about what makes one's home so special.

“[A home] is the place where you can take a deep breath, where your heart rate goes down, where you have that psychological safety, Kushel tells us. “You have that physical safety, hopefully, that acceptance for who you are, and you can just be you. And there are very few other places where that is true.”
