About Community Psychology

Dedicated to advancing the field and supporting community wellbeing.

Advancing Positive Social Change

Community Psychology was founded in 1997 by Matthew Cook. This site is a continuation of his work, dedicated to providing resources and support for psychologists and psychology students who are committed to applying community psychology principles in their practice. Our goal is to foster a collaborative environment where practitioners can share knowledge, access valuable resources, and connect with others in the field.

We operate with the core values of:

Collaboration: We believe in the power of collective action.
Social Justice: We approach every interaction with a commitment to equity and fairness.
Respect: We honor diverse perspectives and community knowledge.
Empowerment: We provide the tools and resources you need to create positive change.

Our Mission

To provide comprehensive resources and support to psychologists and psychology students, empowering them to apply community psychology principles effectively, build collaborative relationships, and create positive social change in diverse communities.

Our Vision

A future where community psychology principles are widely applied to address social issues and promote wellbeing, with all practitioners having access to the support and resources they need to make meaningful contributions to community health.
