of the simulation. Afterward,
a debriefing occurs where
participants share insights
of extraordinary vividness
and intensity.
The result can be a very special
kind of awakening. The power
of this unique learning resource
is that it creates, like no other
method, an insight into the state
of chronic crisis that consumes
so many working poor families.
