Teresa may feel as if no matter what she does she will have nowhere to go and no place that will accept her and her children, this is due to the fact she has been turned away from shelters in the past because she has to many children. Teresa being unemployed could have a big impact on her because she feels if she leaves her bills will not be paid and her children will not have new clothes for school. Teresa’s most important and most immediate needs at this time are the safety of her children and herself, housing and unemployment. If she stays with her boyfriend she will more and likely continue to be abused and her children are at risk for abuse and mental problems, if she leaves her boyfriend she will have no shelter for her children and herself and without a job she will have a hard time getting out of a shelter because she has no way to pay to get into a new home and with Teresa already being kicked out of public housing it will be difficult to get anyone to accept her and her …show more content…
By getting Teresa and her children into a shelter for abused woman will help with a few things such as her and her children will be out of a toxic environment, they will be in a safe place, Teresa will no longer be abused and the risk to her children drops, even though the children may still be traumatized it will help in the long run to get them out of the toxic environment now and not wait because the longer they are there the more damage will be done and the risk so Teresa being abused and possibly hospitalized or killed from the abuse is high if she returns to the home with her boyfriend. While in the shelter Teresa will be able to start looking for work. I feel that the best place to have Teresa and her children go that will give her immediate help for shelter, help with finding work, a home and provide education and ongoing care is Safe Haven Ministries. At Safe Haven Ministries Teresa and her children will get the immediate help they need and help for the future and building a new
