You are cordially invited to a Partners-In-Diversity Workshop

Featuring:
    Philip DeVol, author of "Bridges Out of Poverty" on
Wednesday, October 29, 2003 1:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. at St. Elizabeth's
Finnegan Auditorium, St. Elizabeth Health Center


RSVP to Suzette Darden at 330-480-2770 or Suzette_darden at hmis.org

This workshop, hosted by Humility of Mary Health Partners and the
Northeast Ohio HealthForce, will feature Philip DeVol, author of
"Bridges Out of Poverty".  Based on work by Ruby Payne, "Bridges Out of
Poverty" provides a framework of understanding poverty through four
elements:  hidden rules of economic class, resources that define
poverty, family structure, and language experience.

Workshop participants will begin to understand economic class as a
diversity issue rather than a strictly economic one.  In order to work
effectively with and serve those who live in poverty, the hidden rules
of
poverty must be understood and new methods must be learned.
