Abstract

This chapter looks beyond state provision to the arena of support and care operating at community level by individuals, ethno specific NGOs, community actors, religious institutions and others garnering the wellbeing of minority communities. Our contention is that this is a key arena of multicultural practice, especially in the context of an increasingly globalized world, and a locale where innovation and change emerges from the grassroots. We argue that traditional forms of community development have not been very effective at working with diversity and look towards the ways professionals can engage with this realm of activity of self-provisioning in bolstering efforts towards wellbeing.
