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.
