"Rough living: surviving violence and homelessness reveals the ways in which intense chains of disadvantage, incorporating homelessness, are triggered by very early experiences of violence. Drawing on biographic interviews with six men and six women, the book bears witness not only to horrendous repeated experiences of physical and sexual violence, but discusses what may be understood as related multi-dimensional vulnerability in areas such as physical and mental health, education, employment and social connectedness. A picture of the long-term cycles of violent victimisation and homelessness, and their compounding traumatising effects, are made clear and the importance of trauma-informed service delivery is outlined as a key way forward."--Publisher's website.

This research project set out to identify the need for crisis accommodation of single homeless women in Western Sydney. It was hoped that this need would be identified through records of requests for assistance by homeless women in the region and through interviews with service providers in contact with homeless single women. While an obvious service gap is identified in this report, it is also argued that the recognition and numeration of, and response to single women's needs is bound up with many broader conceptual and structural difficulties, including: the invisibility of single women as a category of 'deserving' homeless people, the mismatching of crisis accommodation provision and models with likely crisis needs, and the lagging development of suburban infrastructure and growth of suburban homelessness. In the Sydney region, these underpinning problems translate into a range of critical and immediate issues which shape the context of single women's homelessness, such as: the lack of a crisis accommodation facility designated for single homeless women in the Western Sydney region, mounting pressure on existing inner-city accommodation services and related inner-city support services in the areas of health, mental health and drug and alcohol dependence, the most vulnerable of single homeless women in crisis with complex needs being most likely to be without safe accommodation, a reinforcement of women's displacement and disconnection from familiar home territory and from key supports, family, health care, education and employment because of the lack of local service provision, and a reinforcement of single women's unsafe survival skills contributing to further risk, trauma, and cycles of homelessness. The report calls for an end to community, government and service reliance on single homeless women to solve their own homelessness through resilient but unsafe survival practices. The report provides evidence of the need for the serious consideration of: the immediate provision of crisis accommodation facilities for single homeless women in Western Sydney, a thorough evaluation of single homeless women's need for crisis and other affordable housing options across New South Wales, a thorough evaluation of funding for existing crisis services, and a re-examination of single homeless women as a significant homeless group in Australia.

Outside back cover : "Simulation is becoming an integral part of medical education and has already a well-established role within anaesthesia training, with many examination questions already modelled on simulation scenarios. The clinical diversity and multidisciplinary nature of an obstetric team creates the ideal environment for simulation training. It enables the team to develop their knowledge of clinical emergencies whilst becoming more aware of the importance of human factors. This book is a practical guide to inspire clinical leads to establish simulation within their delivery suite. The book comprises an extensive obstetric scenario library, with each scenario broken down into learning outcomes, a list of staff and equipment needed, specific stages mapped to learning outcomes with appropriate results/investigations and a checklist of ideal actions to enable the post-scenario debrief. Written by consultant obstetric anaesthetists, this book will appeal to medical practitioners interested in facilitating obstetric simulation."
