Joining Forces for Families: An Embedded Response to Neighborhood Poverty
Bruce, Michael; Chance, Ron; Meulemans, Laurie
International Journal of Qualitative Studies in Education (QSE), v28 n6 p750-756 2015
The authors reflect on how they, as social work practitioners, support the school systems in supporting homeless youth and families. They emphasize the importance of relationships and trust in working with this vulnerable population. The reflexive vignettes highlight the challenges and success of developing community-based programming for homeless and highly mobile students.
