The author applies an ecological framework to understand how care is mobilized, whereby personal healing grows people's capacity to function in right relationship with one another while the values, beliefs, and visions cultivated in and through these relationships can be articulated onto the social and cultural landscape through community action.	cache/cc08hd8010j.txt	txt/cc08hd8010j.txt
