Exploring
Social Poverty:
Low-Income Populations and the
Impact of Family and Community
Ties
The impact of
financial poverty has been a focus of researchers for decades. In this webinar,
Dr. Sarah Halpern-Meekin, author of Social Poverty: Low-income Parents and
the Struggle for Family and Community Ties, examines another dimension of poverty
that has been considerably understudied: social poverty. Social poverty—or
lacking adequate close, dependable, and trusting relationships—is an often-ignored
form of hardship that is separate from financial poverty. Developing healthy
relationship skills and coping mechanisms through relationship education may help
address social poverty.
