Product Description:

Social capital refers to the resources that emerge from social relationships, such as emotional support or referrals for employment. Social capital is a prerequisite for self-determination and empowerment, but is lacking for many youth and families served by systems of care. However, social capital is seldom a focus of system of care practice or policy. Greater attention to social capital could help youth and families develop stronger social support networks and experience improved outcomes.
