    <![CDATA[Bridges Out of Poverty is a unique and powerful tool designed specifically for social, health, and legal services professionals.  Based in part on Dr. Ruby K. Payne's myth shattering A Framework for Understanding Poverty, Bridges reaches out to the millions of service providers and businesses whose daily work connects them with the lives of people in poverty.      In a highly readable format you'll find case studies, detailed analysis, helpful charts and exercises, and specific solutions you and your organization can implement right now to:  Redesign programs to better serve people you work with; Build skill sets for management to help guide employees; Upgrade training for front-line staff like receptionists, case workers, and managers; Improve treatment outcomes in health care and behavioral health care; Increase the liklihood of moving from welfare to work.    If your business, agency, or organization works with people from poverty, only a deeper understanding of their challenges-and strengths-will help you partner with them to create opportunities for success.]]>

    <![CDATA[Getting Ahead by Philip E. DeVol, is a set of two workbooks for people in poverty that shows how to use the hidden rules of class to build up financial, emotional, social, and other resources. Understanding the hidden rules of the middle class and wealth, and choosing to use them, can open doors to new relationships, new jobs, and higher resources. The workbook is designed to be used as an investigation tool by people working in groups with a trained facilitator. The participants explore the impact that poverty has had on them, investigate economic realities, complete a self-assessment of their own resources, make plans to build their own resources, and develop a mental model of community prosperity.]]>

    <![CDATA[If you didnÂ’t grow up in poverty, you may be unaware of the Â“hidden rulesÂ” that govern many aspects of life for the poor. People in poverty are often in survival mode, where the future holds no promise, and support systems taken for granted in middle class and wealth are nonexistent. If your business, agency, or organization works with people from poverty, only a deeper understanding of their challengesÂ—and strengthsÂ—will help you partner with them to create opportunities for success. Bridges Out of Poverty is a unique and powerful tool designed specifically for social, health, and legal services professionals. Based in part on Dr. Ruby PayneÂ’s myth shattering A Framework for Understanding Poverty, Bridges reaches out to the millions of service providers and businesses whose daily work connects them with the lives of people in poverty. In a highly readable format youÂ’ll find case studies, detailed analysis, helpful charts and exercises, and specific solutions you and your organization can implement right now.]]>

    <![CDATA[Construyendo sus recursos para una descripciÃ³n mejor del libro de la vida que consigue a continuaciÃ³n por Philip E. DeVol, es un sistema de dos libros de trabajo para la gente en la pobreza que demuestra cÃ³mo utilizar las reglas ocultadas de la clase para acumular recursos financieros, emocionales, sociales, y otros. Entender las reglas ocultadas de la clase media y de la abundancia, y el elegir utilizarlas, pueden abrir puertas en las nuevas relaciones, los nuevos trabajos, y recursos mÃ¡s altos. El libro de trabajo se diseÃ±a para ser utilizado como herramienta de la investigaciÃ³n por la gente que trabaja en grupos con un facilitator entrenado. Los participantes exploran el impacto que la pobreza ha tenido en ellos, investigan realidades econÃ³micas, terminan una autovaloraciÃ³n de sus propios recursos, hacen planes para construir sus propios recursos, y desarrollan un modelo mental de la prosperidad de la comunidad.]]>
