There is lots of community awareness about abuse and there are many programs that are available for women to go and get help. In many cases women are found new places to live and their families are involved in the recuperation of the loved one. The children will be removed from the home of the abuser and will be placed in the homes for loved ones that will protect the children until the abuser and abused have been dealt with. That way the children are not taken from their families and that the mother can still have access to them and the can have access to their mother. They are not just taken by the social services and they have to fight for them back.
While it was necessary for her to work in order to contribute to the meager family finances. She became concerned as she noticed how young people behaved in the neighborhood when their mothers worked outside the home. She talked about “la poca verguenza”, (the lack of shame), of teenagers who would not go to school to have parties.

(4)I founded the Working Girls Association (the precursor to the YWCA), which offered meals, reading rooms and study classes. It is a safe haven where girls can receive training, shelter, and food, while seeking employment. The Working Girls Association provides education for up to sixty women at a time, and helps fill a need for single women who come to the city in search of employment. (5)I then co-founded the National Council of Women of Canada and the Victorian Order of Nurses. These are the current pictures of NCWC and VON.
The civil rights movement represented an improvement in the lives of African Americans because they would be treated the same way as white people when paying for the use of public facilities. Rosa Parks was not an ordinary black woman. Rosa’s father was a carpenter named James McCauley, who traveled a great deal when she was young and was not around very much during her early years. Her mother, Leona Edwards, was a teacher who had to live away from her home and children during the week in order to teach at a black school. Rosa and her mother stayed with her mother’s grandparents in a small community near Montgomery.
Some parents allow their children to stay home alone for the first few hours until their return, and some chose an alternative method of after school programming. I have chosen to use afterschool programming for my granddaughter, as I am helping her mother to co-parent. In my observation I have learned that the afterschool program that she attends may be no more that a glorified babysitting operation. When she comes home her homework is wrong, messy, and incomplete. She tells me she has been taught by her teacher things like how to spell the word, “butt” and how to look for leaks by locating brown spots on the ceiling.
As you can see what is the point of the hospital sending her very important news about her kid’s health if she could not read the letter (Kozol 257)? Also, as much as knowing how to read is beneficial; knowing how to write goes hand in hand. In his story Laura (the mother) is on welfare to help her with all the expenses and the rent she has to pay to stay at the Martinique Hotel that houses nearly 400 hundred homeless families. During her time there she gets a letter from the welfare office stating that her benefits have been taken away. Her benefits could still be there if she had known how to read and write.
WIC, a supplemental food program for women, infants and children, is helping people of these communities but there is more that can be done, they provide supplemental food to pregnant women and children under five years (Social Safety Net 1). What happens after children age out of WIC, or when women do not qualify, or their food needs are taken care of but they have nowhere to stay the night, what is done then? The problem of poverty has such a large impact on many areas of life and providing support for biological parents could help eliminate the amount of children going into the foster system for neglect or
In interviewing the family, I became self-aware of my role within their home environment. Early on, I recognized their vulnerable states, and worked diligently in establishing an authentic relationship, which is essential for a public health nurse. In identifying the top-most needs of E.M. and her two children: (1) anxiety, (2) depression, (3) stress, I realized that they are facing a unique situation. Because she is a working nurse, she does not qualify for many of the low cost or free resource counseling programs. Her private insurance, offered through her employer does not cover mental health without reaching a twenty-five hundred dollar deductible.
