Community Psychology
Community Psychology is a branch of psychology that focuses on understanding individuals within their social contexts. It emphasizes the importance of community and societal factors in shaping behavior, mental health, and well-being. This field aims to address social issues and promote positive change by working collaboratively with communities.
Practitioners of Community Psychology often engage in research, advocacy, and intervention programs that empower individuals and groups. They seek to enhance community resources, reduce inequalities, and foster environments that support mental health. By prioritizing prevention and social justice, Community Psychology aims to create healthier, more resilient communities.
