Synopsis:

Communities with greater social engagement have less violent crime, higher educational performance, and better resident health. In this book, two psychologists and a marriage and family therapist with long records of community service offer effective methods for strengthening community bonds. The Community Building Companion begins with a section on personal growth that shows individuals who are feeling isolated how to build an interpersonal network. The second section explains how to recognize elements of a community in need of reform and how to draw on appropriate resources to implement change. The third section invites readers to form groups based on shared interests.
