Preventing Poverty: A Call for Collaboration

Abstract

Dear readers, this is my last essay as editor of Families in Society. I would like to thank all those readers, authors, reviewers, and staff who have worked together on the journal in the last three and a half years during my term. As social work's most enduring professional journal, your contributions advance translational research on issues related to the capabilities of individuals, families, and communities, including the myriad factors that affect functioning and well-being. This research capacity is part of our overall commitment to inform and inspire collaboration between participants, service providers, and other community stakeholders that will drive positive change. I am counting on your continued support for the journal and for the ideas and values it promotes.
