The Trouble With Community Engagement: From Power Sharing to Power Shifting Through the Community Bill of Rights
Reflecting a growing consensus that meaningful change doesn’t come without the involvement of those most impacted, funders have signed on to efforts to “listen,” “get proximate,” and “empower.” In this article, the authors draw on their lived expertise and research to describe how even well-intentioned community engagement efforts can become extractive, tokenizing, and undermine existing community assets. As a meaningful alternative, the authors …

A call for a social network-oriented approach to services for survivors of intimate partner violence.
Despite the many hard-won victories of the antidomestic violence movement, it has had less success in reaching one of its own primary goals: that of making intimate partner violence a problem of the community rather than a problem between two individuals. Most mainstream domestic violence service models have not prioritized ongoing engagement of survivors' informal social support networks as a core part of their work. Yet the perpetration of dome…
Leveraging Social Networks in Direct Services: Are Foundations Doing All They Can
Social networks are critical to physical and mental health, and they shape how people see themselves and their possible futures
Beyond the 50-minute hour: Increasing control, choice, and connections in the lives of low-income women
Although poverty is associated with a range of mental health difficulties among women in this country, mainstream mental health interventions are not sufficient to meet the complex needs of poor women. This article argues that stress, powerlessness, and social isolation should become primary targets of our interventions, as they are key mediators of the relationship between poverty and emotional distress, particularly for women. Indeed, if ways a…
When Crises Collide: How Intimate Partner Violence and Poverty Intersect to Shape Women’s Mental Health and Coping
Until recently, the connection between intimate partner violence (IPV) and persistent poverty had been largely ignored. Recent research indicates, however, that the two phenomena cooccur at high rates; produce parallel effects; and, in each other’s presence, constrain coping options. Therefore, both external situational, and internal psychological difficulties are missed when women contending with both poverty and IPV are viewed through the lens …
The full-frame approach: A new response to marginalized women left behind by specialized services
Increasing emphasis on specialization in social and mental health services leaves these systems largely unable to attend to marginalized women's complex needs, despite new models designed to ameliorate specialization's impact. In this article, the authors describe how inattention to these women's contexts leaves them ill-served and leaves programs struggling. The authors articulate a new framework of principles and practices that privileges conte…
