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.
