TELLING IT LIKE IT IS: Realities of Parenting in Poverty
Kathryn Green, Department of Community Health and Epidemiology,
University
of Saskatchewan
and participants of "We Did It Together": Low-income Mothers Working
Together Toward a Healthier Community
This book came out of a project funded by the Prairie Women's Health
Centre
of Excellence. The project brought together fifteen low-income mothers
of
pre-school aged children, who had taken part in programs like collective
kitchens and parenting groups. These groups had helped them overcome
their
feelings of isolation, learn how to work together, and develop better
coping
skills. The purpose of this project was to move beyond coping with the
conditions that affect low-income families' health to changing those
conditions. This book comes from the hard work of the women who
participated
in this project.
