PSY 387 Community Interventions in Mental Health
How do neighborhoods, cities, states, and nations influence psychological development? What is the role of organizations (such as mental health agencies, hospitals, community centers, schools, and places of worship) in promoting positive mental health? Conversely, what features in the community lead to mental health difficulties? Further, what are scientifically-validated or promising approaches among community interventions in mental health? These questions and more will be addressed in this course. An emphasis will be placed on the interplay between practice, policy, and research. Prerequisites: PSY 201.
