Summary:
After surviving a childhood of abuse and neglect,
Tonier
"Neen"
Cain
lived on the streets for two nightmarish decades, where she endured unrelenting violence, hunger, and despair while racking up 66 criminal convictions related to her addiction. Incarcerated and pregnant in 2004, a community mental health program offered her a way out... and up. Neen's inspiring story illustrates the consequences of childhood household trauma for individuals and society at large - mental health problems, addiction, homelessness, incarceration - and the efficacy of trauma-informed care as a treatment plan.
