- What You Need to Know About Me:
- In the extraordinary challenging field of social issues impacting public health, Dr Glenda Clare is a rock, a light and a guiding voice. Her far-ranging body of work as a researcher and clinician, specializing for more than 20 years in HIV/AIDS, substance abuse, incarceration, domestic violence, foster care and homelessness, has earned her the reputation as one of the nation’s leading experts on these critical issues.
Dr. Clare’s approach to public health and treatment is rooted in her own personal experiences. She grew up in the South Bronx of New York City, and is intimately acquainted with the dangers threatening the physical and psychological wellbeing of families everyday. Now a resident of North Carolina, she founded the Fragile Families Network (FFN) to create a resource for social service providers, trainers and researchers. FFN seek to improve the understanding of these issues and the way treatment and solutions are provided, particularly in the South where such professional services are in critical need but short supply.
A leading member of national training teams, Dr. Clare has facilitated training for health and human service professionals within communities of faith, community-based organizations, neighborhood associations, the criminal justice/juvenile justice system, the mental and public health systems and local, state and national government.
Dr. Clare is also a licensed Baptist minister, and has developed a blend of both northern and southern cultural heritage that allows her to be down-to-earth yet polished and refined as she brings hope, humor and faith to those tackling some of our nation’s most challenging issues. She is the author of Don’t Adopt that Child!, a powerful and deeply personal account of her own experience with the process of guardianship and adoption, and Eight Steps to Abundant Living for Justice Professionals working with fragile families. Both titles are scheduled for publication and release in 2010.

Thank you for adding me to your friends list. I'd have contacted you sooner, but I've been hard at work on the new publishing site http://www.seshatpress.com. Do you think your work fits the e-book format and would find an audience on the Internet as a download through the millions of e-book readers that so many people are using? If so, please contact me.
Blessings
