Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingChapter

Abstract

This chapter offers a framework for action for improving social settings. It first offers a brief summary that explains how to understand the ways social settings function. It focuses on several underlying approaches for social intervention, their accompanying strategies and tactics, and how they are targeted at one or more features and/or processes of a social setting. The goal of each intervention strategy is to improve social settings and to foster the development and well-being of those within the setting. The chapter underscores the importance of amplifying the strengths and empowerment of the social setting to each strategy.
