Social Capital: 

The Key to Macro Change

All of us are interested in a better community where all people have an opportunity for accessible and afforable homes, jobs or meaningful daytime opportunities and lifestyles of their choice. In spite of our many years of work on this goal, the outcomes in this area are still not satisfactory for people who are vulnerable due to disability or other compromises. Many of these vulnerable people find themselves in isolated situations with limited options for friendships and important social relationships. This presentation takes a close look at the reasons why our systems have not been more successful in these goals, defines and delineates the concept of social capital, and offers a community building perspective designed to shift the culture to be more inclusive and supportive to all people.

BREAK-OUT:

Tuesday, September 9 – 10:30AM-12:00PM

Building Community 

This session will be an interactive look at strategies and actions for building inclusive communities. The 4 key steps of building social capital will be explored and examined.
