In this session you will learn how to build relationships and strengthen interactions with people living in the crisis of poverty. In this session you will learn how to build relationships and strengthen interactions with people living in the crisis of emotional and economical poverty. People living in poverty have fewer options as they work to navigate COVID-19 closures and layoffs. They were the first to feel the economic shift and they will also take the longest time to recover. Because poverty has emerged as one of our country’s most critical issues, educating practitioners about the diverse perspectives of people who live in poverty, is essential. Join me as we create space to explore the diverse types of poverty, homelessness, communication theory and how the different lived experiences influence people living in poverty. You will leave with a different filter in which to address poverty; a filter without blame or judgment that allows you to better connect with people in the war zone of poverty.
