Take it From Me
Society
Opportunities/activities within society allow individuals to leave the house and hopefully decompress.
Recognize/encourage these possibilities because this outlet can be a strong resilience factor for families and children.
Society provides extra resources to help people, such as AA, NA, or other non-profit agencies to provide individuals with resources.
It is important to know/understand what other options are available within society because eventually welfare will end.
-
Society is full of judgments, and people on welfare may be judged based on how they look or act.
Times have changed in that more people recognize the humanity in others, but individuals who are not as "well off" may still be seen or judged as the sole cause of their problems (addicts, poor mental health, poor education).
Families
Parents may experience family strain, work stress, environmental stress, and welfare stress.
-
Low wages are not enough to support families and parents have to find multiple jobs or search for outside help.
-
-
Government
Politicians remained blind, at least acted that way, towards how the program was not working.
Not much has changed, and has built a distrust between the people and the government.
Seemed to make changes on a macro level towards welfare without testing/slowly incrementing changes over time.
Families were automatically expected to find a job and given a time period of how long they could stay on welfare.
Administration of Children Services, a government agency, were involved with families and may separate children from their parents.
Individuals may feel unsupported by these agencies when trying to get their children back, and face even more challenges when not supported with welfare.
-
Individuals on Welfare
There can be multiple issues with finding consistent and healthy employment such as wages, layoffs, poor hours, or unhealthy bosses.
Without consistent and healthy employment, people are left without support and unable to provide for themselves or others.
-
In order to "make it" people may have to put their goals on hold, and move around through welfare.
It appears that some individuals aren't helped on welfare and the system doesn't always assist them in moving their life forwards.
People may have to find jobs, housing, childcare, and may have had unsupporting families, unhealthy relationships, or their children taken away.
-
Welfare
-
People feel unsupported by welfare in that they only recognized the physical body and not the emotional side of things.
How much can welfare agencies do for individuals when what they do is limited and mandated by the government.
-
Public assistance does not accept everyone, and individuals can be rejected.
Without assistance, whatever the assistance may be, people can experience greater challenges.
