FARMINGTON – The Institute on Rural Poverty at the University of Maine at Farmington will examine teen homelessness in a program March 29 at UMF. The programs are free to the public.
“Mitigating the Effects of Poverty on Adolescent Development: A Curriculum for Resilience,” will take place at 6 p.m Monday, March 29, in North Dining Hall. Presenter Elyse Pratt is a graduate student at Boston College. She is also a UMF alumna, class of 2002.
Pratt will discuss current knowledge about the social and emotional effects of poverty on human development. She will also explain how she developed a curriculum for educators that she hopes can assist youth from impoverished backgrounds.
The program is part of a series of presentations on poverty this spring at UMF. Future dates and topics in the series include April 9: “Predicting Attitudes to the Homeless,” and April 14: “Archie Bunker’s Neighborhood – Is this your Neighborhood?”
