Vancouver Coastal Health recently released their Health Watch Newsletter (September 2012) which had an interesting article regarding the importance of social support networks. Have a Read:

I love this article. It underscores the importance of social networks within our family, peer group, and across our communities. It is definitely a motivating force behind the Winds of Change.
