The true story from beginning to end of how Dr. Roger Mills and staff accomplished the "miracle" in the Modello and Homestead Gardens Housing Projects applying the Health Realization approach.
Through extensive interviews with residents and Dr. Mills, his staff and other professionals, a very compelling and moving portrait is painted of how two low-income, inner-city housing projects replete with violence, crack, drug gangs, abuse, welfare dependency and hopelessness were completely turned around within 2½ years.
Learn how people who lived among the most difficult circumstances were reached and came to find hope and to change their lives. "In all my years in prevention I have never seen this level of change in people!"
From the "Foreword" by Bonnie Benard, Co-editor, Resiliency in Action Journal:
What you are about to read is a remarkable story—a story of hope—a story of what can happen when people realize their innate resilience—the power they possess to transform and change their lives. Ultimately, the story of Modello demonstrates that Health Realization offers the prevention, education, and intervention fields the best examples for how resilience operates. The story told so eloquently here demonstrates that social change is an inside-out process. It starts with each of our hearts and minds, with our thoughts about ourselves and others.
