Sample Book Insights: #1 The largest nonprofit provider of services for victims of domestic violence and sex trafficking is Sanctuary for Families. It is run out of a nondescript office building in midtown Manhattan. #2 Laura is the clinical director at Sanctuary for Families, a counseling and support center for families who have experienced trauma. She has been working in this field for more than 30 years, and has seen first hand how institutions designed to help people can actually harm and dehumanize them. #3 Micro, mezzo, and macro social work all deal with the same end goal: to improve the functioning of clients while ensuring that their basic needs are being met. #4 Nicholson eventually lost her children after she was unable to comply with the court’s request that she leave her home and enter a shelter.
