San Francisco's Street Crisis Response Team works some of the city's toughest neighborhoods to help those who may be suffering from a drug problem or mental health crisis.
Every time he steps into a Street Crisis Response Team van, peer counselor Omar Breedlove moves further away from his past.
He's been clean since 2016 but rather than leave his experience behind, he's using it today as his greatest asset. Members of the Homeless Outreach Team and paramedics fill the van, responding to dozens of calls each day. "If somebody is hungry and had eaten for three days, a pair can like understand, like, what that feels like and what it feels like to be able to receive some food," said Breedlove.
