Natural Supports

People often lack natural support such as family, community, and peer relationships. Some organizations are trying to address the gap in natural support that many vulnerable and marginalized people experience. Right now, the understanding of natural supports outpaces the understanding of how to repair natural supports for those who lack them. This section provides resources that further these concepts.
