Bridges Out of Poverty or God Guns and Rock n Roll

Bridges Out of Poverty: Strategies for Professionals and Communities

Author: Ruby K Payn

Bridges Out of Poverty is a unique and powerful tool designed specifically for social, health, and legal services professionals. Based in part on Dr. Ruby K. Payne's myth shattering A Framework for Understanding Poverty, Bridges reaches out to the millions of service providers and businesses whose daily work connects them with the lives of people in poverty. In a highly readable format you'll find case studies, detailed analysis, helpful charts and exercises, and specific solutions you and your organization can implement right now to:

  • Redesign programs to better serve people you work with Build skill sets for management to help guide employees;
  • Upgrade training for front-line staff like receptionists, case workers, and managers;
  • Improve treatment outcomes in health care and behavioral health care;
  • Increase the likelihood of moving from welfare to work.

If your business, agency, or organization works with people from poverty, only a deeper understanding of their challenges—and strengths—will help you partner with them to create opportunities for success.
