Main Message

People are social beings. We rely on each other to develop personal and community identity as well as build skills and resources. As people  develop, they being to test their social skills in relation to others, learning how their actions impact those around them. They begin to understand the “give and take” process that builds constructive and supportive relationships. As they explore beyond their comfort zone, people are often challenged to evolve their skills and behaviors to navigate in new contexts, learning new norms and patterns of behavior.
