Outreach".  The draft is being revised over the summer.  Hope we can share
back and forth.

Subject: pregnancy and poverty


 Best Start (Ontario) is developing a manual for service providers
working with pregnant women living in poverty.   The manual will be, in
part, anecdotal and include micro and macro issues for addressing
poverty and pregnancy.  We are looking for examples of case scenarios,
innovative programs, advocacy strategies, training ideas, and lists of
written resources/support services.  We appreciate any help you can
provide.  Thanks in advance.
