Alumni Webinar Series: Understanding and Treating the Condition of Poverty
Summary
Dr. Wilson's presentation "Understanding and Treating the Condition of Poverty" brings a new understanding of poverty as an environmentally-based, diagnosable and treatable condition. This paradigm shift serves to undermine the character flaw mentality that promotes shame and stigma while promoting a science based approach to care. Using this framework, Dr. Wilson then presents the first evidence based standards of care to treat the condition of poverty that bring consistency in the screening, treatment and analytics associated with the condition of poverty.
Today, recognized as a Clinton Global Initiative, Dr. Wilson's work, Transition To Success has statistically significant outcomes in 5 independent evaluations and is implemented in healthcare, human services, government, education and faith based programs around the country.
Note: This webinar is free for U-M SSW alumni.
Identify common myths associated with poverty; promote a new understanding of poverty as a environmentally based, diagnosable, treatable condition; and define specific evidence-based approaches in the treatment of poverty.
