Bridges Out of Poverty provides a framework for understanding the challenges faced by individuals living in generational poverty and dives into the complex barriers that can keep them there. The workshop explores the hidden rules of economic class, the resources required for stability, and the importance of building social capital to foster long-term stability. It explores the reality that moving out of poverty requires more than just financial resources—it requires hope, resilience and building healthy and supportive relationships and networks. This is a big ask for individuals who have a hard time seeing outside of the moment they are currently in.
By adopting the Bridges Out of Poverty framework, concepts and coaching tools, professionals can better address economic instability, provide trauma-informed care, and design person-centered strategies that create more lasting change.
The book and accompanying workshop is a valuable resource for anyone working with families in poverty, seeking to transform systems, and empowering families through holistic, relationship-based interventions. During the Bridges workshop, tools are provided for professionals to support their clientele in shifting from a just-getting-by world to a getting-ahead world.
