The Need for Change Leadership When Safety Net Programs Fail

During the pandemic, many communities faced significant challenges that required the help of various human service organizations and agencies. Challenges included unemployment, food insecurity, homelessness, mental health hurdles, inadequate healthcare, and a lack of educational resources. Some services were readily available while others were limited. New organizations sprung up to fill growing needs in communities. Some established organizations began providing new services. This week’s journal will explore transformational change and leadership.
