Скачать или смотреть The Multifaceted Nature of Social Capital:

While much of our emphasis has been on the importance of linking and bridging social capital, it's crucial to underscore another essential aspect: bonding social capital. Opportunity Insights' research clearly demonstrates the impact of social capital across class lines, but the social capital with people who share similar backgrounds and experiences is equally important. This form of social capital—bonding social capital—plays a vital role in providing emotional support, fostering trust, and creating a sense of belonging among individuals.

At Social Capital Builders, our work primarily focuses on enhancing economic mobility. However, we would be remiss not to highlight the significance of bonding social capital. Building strong, supportive relationships with those who understand and relate to your experiences can be a cornerstone of personal and professional growth.

In the following video, our founder, Edward de Jesus, addresses this critical issue. He speaks passionately about the necessity of seeking out others for support, emphasizing that sometimes the bravest thing you can say is, "Help." Edward urges everyone to recognize the power of both bridging connections that expand opportunities and bonding connections that provide vital support and community.

We hope this message inspires you to harness the full spectrum of social capital in your journey towards economic mobility, health and social well-being.
