An article on feminist practice at Tamara's House is provided to graduate students in family therapy practice at Athabasca University, and an article has been submitted to a Canadian medical journal on the infant feeding experiences of women who have been sexually abused in childhood. An article is in preparation for submission on the healing needs of Aboriginal women who are healing from residential school abuses and child sexual abuse.

Pro Bono students Gillian and Shauna have completed drafts of a pamphlet on: 1) What To Do When Your Child Is In Care, and 2) Deciding To Report A Sexual Assault Or Sexual Abuse. Thank you Gillian and Shauna, and to the Pro Bono Society!
