The New Jersey-based author of Beyond Time Out: From Chaos to Calm, retired child psychologist Dr. Beth Grosshans helps parents develop strategies to establish boundaries with children and create a more balanced family dynamic. Additionally, Dr. Beth Grosshans serves on the steering committee for United Against Poverty, a charitable organization that offers resources for Florida residents living in poverty.
Since 2003, United Against Poverty has worked to break cycles of poverty by operating food assistance programs throughout southern Florida. In addition to emergency food supplies and highly subsidized groceries, the organization operates the Success Training for Employment Program (STEP) to address the root causes of poverty. Through career training and coaching, the program equips clients with skills that help them regain dignity and become self-reliant.
Often, United Against Poverty clients give back to the organization by volunteering, in the process learning organizational and administrative skills required for nonprofit work. When job openings arise, United Against Poverty often hires from this volunteer pool in order to further empower and uplift its clients.
