Why Focus on Community?
“Even if one has experienced empowering cognitive and behavioral changes, it is difficult to argue that one is empowered as long as those personal and interpersonal changes have no impact on socially unjust
situations which affect one’s life.” (Margot Breton)
Sustainable improvement in health conditions requires attention to individual AND
contextual factors
Community is the most immediate day-to-day context most people face
Community Resiliency
“Our challenge is how to create those democratic spaces, legitimate spaces at the local level within which you can participate, your voices are heard and you have some say in the making of decisions.”
