The growing number of elder men providing hands-on care to loved ones, particularly spouses, undeniably represents a hidden segment of the home care population. With that in consideration, caregiving in communities of color, in particular, is increasing while numbers of informal (unpaid) caregivers are projected to triple by 2030. Despite statistics, studies on African-American men who care for other elders (such as spouses and parents) -- indeed, "the hidden among the hidden" -- are negligible. This text follows a study conducted by Helen Black, a research scientist focusing on aging, alongside John Groce and Charles Harmon, founders of Mature Africans Learning from Each Other (M.A.L.E.), in which they interviewed elderly African-American men in caregiver roles. As a whole, The Hidden Among the Hidden is unique in its study of caregiving in the areas of subject matter, methodology, and presentation of findings. The men whose attitudes and behaviors toward caregiving are recorded in this book share a wealth of knowledge for other caregivers, gerontologists, healthcare professionals, students, and the community in general.

Barn och unga som lever i utsatta livssituationer på grund av föräldrarnas problematik – exempelvis psykisk/somatisk ohälsa, beroendeproblematik eller funktionsnedsättning – har rätt till stöd och information. Genom att arbeta med dessa barn ges inte bara möjligheter till en bättre barn- och ungdomstid. Det är också en tydligt förebyggande insats mot att utveckla egen problematik. Stödgruppsmetodiken innebär att barn och unga i liknande livssituationer träffar varandra under ledning av utbildade professionella stödgruppsledare. Med hjälp av lekar och övningar och genom att träffa jämnåriga och dela erfarenheter, tankar och känslor ges möjligheter att utveckla konstruktiva bemästringsstrategier och bryta en känsla av ensamhet och av att vara annorlunda. Boken redogör för hur verksamhetsformen vuxit fram och för teoretiska perspektiv och forskningsstöd inom området. Den beskriver också konkret och praktiskt hur arbetet i en stödgrupp kan se ut, med exempel från flera verksamheter med olika målgrupper. Boken vänder sig till professionella och studenter inom olika omsorgsyrken.
The Empress Helena made the historic pilgrimage to Palestine, found pieces of wood from the true Cross, and built churches at Bethlehem and Olivet. Her life coincided with one of the great turning-points of history: the recognition of Christianity as the religion of the Roman Empire. The enormous conflicting forces of the age, and the corruption, treachery, and madness of Imperial Rome combine to give Evelyn Waugh the theme for one of his most arresting and memorable novels.
Evelyn Waugh's personal favorite of his novels and "a superlatively well done book" (Chicago Tribune) set in the age of Emperor Constantine. Helena is the intelligent, horse-mad daughter of a British chieftain who is thrown into marriage with the man who will one day become the Roman emperor Constantius. Leaving home for lands unknown, she spends her adulthood seeking truth in the religions, mythologies, and philosophies of the declining ancient world, and becomes initiated into Christianity just as it is recognized as the religion of the Roman Empire. Helena--a novel that Evelyn Waugh considered to be his favorite, and most ambitious, work--deftly traverses the forces of corruption, treachery, enlightenment, and political intrigue of Imperial Rome as it brings to life an inspiring heroine.
