"Soul Stories is an exploration of the boundaries of narrative within health and healing in the context of trauma and homelessness. It draws upon scholarly research across a range of disciplines, and is informed by Ensign's thirty years' experience as a nurse providing health care to people marginalized by poverty and homelessness, by her personal journey through homelessness as a young adult, and by her experience of teaching critical reflective practice to health science students. Soul Stories deepens our understanding of homelessness; trauma and resilience; gender-based violence; the role of narrative in health and healing; and ways we can humanize health care for patients, providers, and communities. It contributes to civically and community-engaged scholarship in the health humanities."--Amazon.com.

In this groundbreaking work, urban anthropologist Rae Bridgman, in careful and intimate detail, explores the perspectives of the women who work and live at Savard's, a unique shelter for homeless women. Bridgman uses the design and development of Savard's - a housing model developed by women for women - as an opportunity to document the project's original vision and what happened once it opened. There are few rules at Savard's. Women may come and go as they wish, and referrals to other services are made only when a woman has indicated interest in taking action on her own behalf. It is a model that aims to provide a safe haven for the chronically homeless. The study traces the evolution of this type of shelter, providing qualitative research and useful analysis for academics, policy-makers, service providers, and activists. Based on many hours of participant observation as well as interviews and staff records, Safe Haven presents a distinct picture of the chronically homeless and those on the frontlines of this lifesaving service.

Belgique, France, Québec. Trois « pays » francophones, trois façons de nommer une figure de la pauvreté urbaine : sans-abri, sans domicile fixe, itinérant. Bien qu’immémoriale, cette figure a été perçue de façon nouvelle par nos contemporains au cours des années 1980. Parce que les catégories sont des constructions sociales qui tendent à s’institutionnaliser, elles méritent toute l’attention des chercheurs. Les figures de la pauvreté sont révélatrices d’un (dés)ordre social. Elles mettent en rapport les situations vécues et la « réaction sociale » à leur égard. C’est ce qui a poussé les auteurs de ce livre à proposer une relecture du phénomène, travail comparatif et de confrontation sur l’interdépendance entre contexte national et actions entreprises en direction des personnes. Ce travail est né d’une interrogation portée sur la place et l’utilité de la recherche face à l’installation et à la banalisation du phénomène du sans-abrisme dans les pays riches industrialisés : comment se construit un problème social dans différents contextes ? Comment les chercheurs délimitent-ils leur objet au regard du problème social considéré ? Quelle place occupe la recherche ? Comment est-elle mobilisée ? Comment se situe-t-elle par rapport à l’action politique ? Ces questions permettent de distinguer trois étapes essentielles, les trois parties de cet ouvrage. Tout d’abord, on décrit les éléments essentiels de la genèse de ce qui est apparu comme un problème social dans chacun des pays. Ensuite, on voit comment, face à ce problème social devenu problème public, la recherche s’est développée et organisée différemment, tant au niveau des institutions que des jeux d’acteurs et de leurs effets. Enfin, les parcours de recherche, dans leur grande diversité, permettent de reformuler les enjeux de connaissances, indissociables des situations qui les ont fait naître et des réactions sociales qui les ont accompagnés tout au long de ces deux dernières décennies.

"Brings together leading and emerging researchers to advance understanding of the complex relationships between homelessness and health. Covering a wide range of topics from youth homelessness to end-of-life care, contributors outline policy and practice recommendations to respond to this public health crisis."--back cover. Homelessness & Health in Canada explores, for the first time, the social, structural, and environmental factors that shape the health of homeless persons in Canada. Covering a wide range of topics from youth homelessness to end-of-life care, the authors strive to outline policy and practice recommendations to respond to the ongoing public health crisis. This book is divided into three distinct but complimentary sections. In the first section, contributors explore how homelessness affects the health of particular homeless populations, focusing on the experiences of homeless youth, immigrants, refugees and people of indigenous ancestry. In the second section, contributors investigate how housing and public health policy as well as programmatic responses can address various health challenges, including severe mental illness and HIV/AIDS. In the final section, contributors highlight innovative Canadian interventions that have shown great promise in the field. Together, they form a comprehensive survey of an all too important topic and serve as a blueprint for action.
