Participants will obtain a stronger foundation for understanding the dynamics of poverty—how it is created through the interaction of individuals within social systems and how individuals and families experience it. Participants gain insights from the points of view of individuals experiencing poverty as they explore the various kinds of poverty, reflect on their own socio-economic experiences, and talk first hand with a guest presenter who has experienced and survived homelessness and who willingly and honestly shares her perspectives and answers questions. Participants will have an opportunity to step into the shoes of people who live in poverty through pre-training assignments and in-class exercises.
