In fairness, families who come to the attention of CW are often facing the intersection of multiple points of risk. For instance, individuals experiencing poverty may understand the risk of unprotected sex, but because they are forced to 'live in the now,' the sense of belonging and worth they achieve over the course of an even short relationship may result in their engaging in unsafe behavior or risky relationships. I haven't lived that experience and, as a result, I cannot understand the complexities of it. Add to the experience of poverty multiple generations of neglect and/ or abuse, and you may have families who are unaware of what others consider safe parenting practices or healthy decision making (and who defines these things?). Add to the preceding the experience of racism by the family or a non-majority gender identity, and the family experiences greater stress and isolation. A class or two cannot address the issue alone, we need to work to lift up and support these families.
