Hel= lo Friends!
Rub= y Payne defines poverty as “the extent to which an individual does wi= thout resources.” It’s not about the size of the paycheck= or how often you can afford to eat out. It’s about being depri= ved of what you need for a contented and fruitful life. &nbs= p; Hav= e you ever thought about what resources are needed for a happy and producti= ve life? Hint: it’s not just money. The categories of res= ources listed in Bridges out of Poverty ar= e: financial, emotional, mental, spiritual, physical, support systems= , relationships/role models, knowledge of hidden rules, and coping strategi= es. Although our clients often lack the first resource, they are ofte= n rich in others. &nbs= p; You= can help your client to achieve his/her goals by pointing out the resource= s in which he/she is rich as well as helping your client to build the resou= rces that are lacking. A strategy for success is to maximize our asse= ts while strengthening the areas in which we are weak. If the Mentori= ng program can help our clients employ this strategy, then we’re succ= essful! &nb= sp; &nb= sp; = &nb= sp; = Blessing= s, &nb= sp; = &nb= sp; = &nb= sp; Peggy |
