Healthy community living involves the cooperation of members with each other in exploring common and individual interests and needs. Members should initiate ideas and projects, as well as participate in planned activities and programs. Members should respect and attempt to enhance the physical environment of the total community. Members should evaluate and provide feedback to other community members and to the community as a whole. Team builders and icebreakers come in handy.
Individuals have a structured opportunity to look at values and goals.
A process in which group goals are generated and processed, and a consensus is reached. Brainstorming is often a useful tool for generating ideas. The community identifies which of the prioritized goals are feasible, given individual skills in the group, time and budgetary concerns.
