Improving the lives of people in their communities through research and action.
Community psychology is an interdisciplinary and global field that draws on psychology, sociology, public health, and other fields to improve the lives of people in their communities through a combination of research and action. Community psychology and community psychologists address a wide range of issues including mental health, gender-based violence, public education, community economic development, and health equity.
We are committed to promoting health, well-being, equity, and justice for all people through collaboration, action research, and community empowerment. Working with and within communities, we use community psychology's distinctive theory, research, and action to address the issues that communities find most pressing.
