Toward Greater Impact

While many major social problems - poverty, low education levels, crime, and a host of health issues including alcohol and substance use disorders - are often interrelated, we have a tendency in the U.S. to treat those problems individually in isolation from the others. Unfortunately, siloed and fragmented approaches to complex problems frequently fail to result in lasting impact.

In Toward Greater Impact, author Jim McClelland describes a path to connect some of the many good programs and services that do exist in a more holistic, often whole family approach that can help reduce problems, improve lives, and make more effective use of existing resources.
