How do these articles relate to each other? How do these articles relate to the agency you are evaluating?

The agecny I am evaluating in a women's shelter for domestic violence that doubles as a homeless shelter for women. The themes and concerns in the articles in the mind map, are factors that the employees and shelter have to cope with everyday.

These articles relate to each other because they all have the same recurring theme which is concerns about women who have been victims of domestic violence and homeless women living in shelters.

The H.E.R. Shelter

Safety in Shelters

at times the shelter no longer becomes a shelter when overcrowded but a breeding ground for intimation, petty violence and other safety concerns

individuals can be turned away if they are deemed a safety concern whether it be their behavior or their background

This is a concern because they need protection from homeless or their partner

The shelter has to protect all individuals so women with mental health issues may be less likely to enter due to the safety concerns it may cause.

the individuals in a shelter are on guard, and less trusting than those who have not been homeless epically with children.

Women who are homeless with children just want a safe place for their child

Health Concers

the health concerns continue even after one is out of the shelter

The health concerns are greater for women who are not in a shelter than those who are.

My shelters however do not have the training to help these women and their children in this manner

Many shelters have trained professionals on staff to assist with these issues

These health risks are not just physical but also emotional and psychological.

Women in shelters have greater health risks

Homeless Women

Numerous women, stated in the study, felt ashamed because they could not provide for their children and keep them safe.

Many women feel that they do not matter to most of society because they are homeless

Studies show that many homeless women become homeless as a result of the economy, and domestic violecen

Many of these women have young women

Homelessness in women is becoming a growing concern in the United States

Parenting

It can be diffcult for women to re-establish their style of parenting in shelters with other children and victims attempting to recover

There are programs that assisit with the recovery adn thus aid in paretnign style at many shelters

Studies show that how drastic the chage depend son how much violence they were exposed to

Many wome's parenting style changes after being effected by violence

Women who have been the victims of domestic violecne face challenges intheir parenting
