This issue builds on the theme of creating environments conducive to promoting positive mental health among young people in light of socioeconomic and demographic shifts. In particular, the articles offer strategies for strengthening the building blocks of social capital (connectedness, participation, and trust).
As with the previous issue of AJO: The Community, these articles stem from American Orthopsychiatric Association symposia held in 2015.
