In this segment of his video interview Capacity Building Beyond Community Services with The Minnesota Governor’s Council on Developmental Disabilities, John talks about some of the reasons why social services systems can only provide “service,” not care.
In other segments he goes into the meaning of “community” and “neighborhood,” the power of citizens who share a feeling of mutual responsibility, and the resources people use to create well-being.
