About this title

From Library Journal:

For those faced with the devastating emotional and financial effects of unemployment, this substantial, readable guide offers a practical framework to follow. Beyer, an experienced counselor whose family endured unemployment multiple times, has written a handbook detailing strategies for dealing with crises and shortages in finances, transportation, and food and clothing, among other issues. She and her coauthors offer necessary, step-by-step guidance to the individual as well as to the entire family in the form of professional knowledge and anecdotes. Because of a potential loss of home, community, status, and family security, such numerous tips as how to file for unemployment benefits, sample letters to landlords and utility companies, and methods to help meet medical expenses and locate legal services are especially helpful. A timely addition; recommended for public libraries.
