Without doing this, a person may find that he or she is not getting as far with these people as hoped, and that is definitely detrimental to the people who need help the most. In order to help the maximum number of people in the minimum amount of time, following the eleven specific techniques makes the most sense.

7. In a women's prison, even with medium security inmates, there are dangerous people who have to be watched. There are many themes in Chapter 19, however, and all of them are important. With the women's prison group, the most important theme to come out of that chapter would be the idea that a lot of society thinks that the key should be thrown away both for prisoners and for people who have social work problems.

In the case of Tanya, there are social support opportunities out there to help her. Putting Tanya and her siblings in foster care was the best option, but that would not be all the support that Tanya would get. Counseling would also be needed, and help with her pregnancy as to whether she would keep the baby or put it up for adoption - which would be the most rational choice. Tanya is a strong person, however, and knew how to take care of herself and her brothers because she had no choice in the matter for a long time. Also important was the caring that the foster parents offered to her, because that helped to show her that the way she was treated by her birth mother was not the way that life had to be or should be.
