We know that adjustment and learning take place because people participate successfully in meaningful activities.
These meaningful activities are domestic, social, recreational, academic and prevocational. They take place within the local community in homes, schools, and the workplace. Opportunities for learning do not occur if there is no sustained participation in rewarding activities.
These opportunities need to be created; they do not occur by chance.

When people ask me what I am doing for the inner city neighbourhood where I work, I respond, "I am thoughtfully doing nothing". It is not my role to do anything for anybody. It IS my job to work with residents to identify, recognise and mobilize assets and capacities, thus connecting those neighbors by their strengths and relationships to build their neigbourhood in the way they believe will be most successful and beneficial to them. ~ Lisa Hadden
Join people rather than their problems.~ Linda Ray.
