The dynamics of poverty from the individual to the systemic level will be the topic of an all-day forum on March 6 in Pendleton.

Author and consultant Terrie Dreuessi-Smith will lead the forum from 8:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. at the Red Lion in Pendleton.

Participants will review poverty research and analyze poverty through the prism of the hidden rules of class, resources, family structure, and language. Throughout the workshop, participants will receive specific strategies for improving outcomes for people living in poverty, but the focus of the workshop is to provide a broad overview of concepts.

This training assists employers, community organizations, social service agencies, and individuals gain insight and strategies.
