Module 7: Building a Sustainable Community Support System
Introduction
In Module 6 we broadened the focus of the course from looking at our personal habits and practices to how we can enhance our work through supportive relationships with our colleagues and a healthy work environment. Now we broaden our perspective further to look at our relationships with the community and at how to develop greater community support.
