It Is Always Linked To Other Human Conditions: Homelessness,Under- Or Non-Employment, Inadequate Parenting Skills, Physical, Emotional And Mental Illness, Illiteracy, Lack Of Education And Social Skills, Unawareness Of Available Resources, And Most Of All, Hopelessness, Loss Of Human Dignity And Spiritual Crisis.
