This training supports practitioners to identify and interrogate the social, political, and economic implications of the systems in which they work. It also highlights opportunities to experiment with new strategies congruent with ecological principles. The call to service comes in many forms. Often it is the plea we hear when others are in distress. Yet people in pain move us not only to comfort them, but also to take action. A community approach requires action that affects the larger context. When we witness a relentless stream of systemic conditions carving through communities, the required action is clear. The people swept up in that stream need us to pull them to shore and tend to their injuries. Still, more action is needed…action that compels us upstream.
