Описание:
Pain is something that is common to all of us. We don't choose it, and often seek to avoid it, but if we allow it, we can find our purpose in the midst of our pain.
This is the truth Lashonda Wofford discovered, and now shares in her new book, Pain Equals Purpose. Lashonda met her soul mate David when they were teenagers. Even though they were young, they began building a life together, eventually becoming parents to a beautiful baby girl. But Lashonda's idyllic world came crashing down with five bullets and a life that neither she nor David planned for. What followed was a lesson in pain and purpose that eventually birthed Akins Helping Hands, an important resource for the ventilator-dependent quadriplegic community, providing excellent In-Home Care Services as well as advocating, supporting, and educating families who find themselves in similar situations.
Through her deepest pain, Lashonda found her purpose. Now she tells her story to help you discover yours. It won't happen overnight, but if we will just submit ourselves to the process, we will discover a beautiful transformation waiting for us as we become the people God created us to be, filled with the compassion to love others and help them through the pain we overcame.

Описание: The author of The Group, the groundbreaking bestseller and 1964 National Book Award finalist that shaped a generation of women, brings reminiscences of her girlhood to this intimate and illuminating memoir How I Grew is Mary McCarthy's intensely personal autobiography of her life from age thirteen to twenty-one. Orphaned at six, McCarthy was raised by her maternal grandparents in Seattle, Washington. Although her official birthdate is in 1912, it wasn't until she turned thirteen that, in McCarthy's own words, she was "born as a mind." With detail driven by an almost astonishing memory recall, McCarthy gives us a masterful account of these formative years. From her wild adolescence-including losing her virginity at fourteen-through her eventual escape to Vassar, the bestselling novelist, essayist, and critic chronicles her relationships with family, friends, lovers, and the teachers who would influence her writing career. Filled with McCarthy's penetrating insights and trenchant wit, this is an unblinkingly honest and fearless self-portrait of a young woman coming of age-and the perfect companion to McCarthy's Memories of a Catholic Girlhood.
Описание: This book offers mental health professionals insights and recommendations for supporting children of color in the child welfare system. Race plays a pivotal role in the experiences of children in the child welfare system. Children of color are more likely to enter the system, stay in the system longer, and receive fewer services while they are in it. As a result, they are more likely to face a decline in their immediate and long-term academic and educational progress, more likely to enter the juvenile justice system, and less likely to be satisfied with counseling and other support services they receive while in out-of-home placements. This book offers the crucial insights and key recommendations that mental health professionals need to support children of color in the child welfare system. By understanding the challenges that children of color face in the system, as well as best practices for supporting them, professionals in the child welfare system can improve outcomes. The book will be an essential resource for researchers, counselors and clinicians who work in the child welfare system, as well as those designing interventions to help children and their families.

Описание: Specialized public resources for survivors of intimate partner violence (IPV) are increasingly common and diverse--from protection order courts and dedicated domestic violence units in police precincts to a vast network of community-based emergency shelters and counseling services. Yet little consensus exists regarding which resources actually work to reduce violence and help survivors lead the lives they would like to live. This book is an account of these resources and IPV survivors' experiences with them in three communities in the United States.Through detailed observations of services such as court procedures, public benefits processes, and community-based IPV programs as well as in-depth interviews with dozens of IPV survivors and practitioners, Shoener describes how our current institutional response to IPV is often not useful--and sometimes quite harmful--for IPV survivors with the least material, social, and cultural capital to spare. For these women, as the interviews vividly record, IPV has long-term economic and social consequences, disrupting career paths and creating social isolation.

Описание:
The Irish-Catholic Sisters accomplished tremendously successful work in founding charitable organizations in New York City from the Irish famine through the early twentieth century. Maureen Fitzgerald argues that their championing of the rights of the poor—especially poor women—resulted in an explosion of state-supported services and programs.
Parting from Protestant belief in meager and means-tested aid, Irish Catholic nuns argued for an approach based on compassion for the poor. Fitzgerald positions the nuns' activism as resistance to Protestantism's cultural hegemony. As she shows, Roman Catholic nuns offered strong and unequivocal moral leadership in condemning those who punished the poor for their poverty and unmarried women for sexual transgression. Fitzgerald also delves into the nuns' own communities, from the class-based hierarchies within the convents to the political power they wielded within the city. That power, amplified by an alliance with the local Irish Catholic political machine, allowed the women to expand public charities in the city on an unprecedented scale.
