Psychology, Community and Social Change - Sally Zlotowitz

What role can and do Psychologists have in building community and creating social change?

Sally will reflect on lessons learned in her work as a Clinical & Community Psychologist in the field of 'youth violence' , being part of the charity sector and in building social movements for change.

We will discuss how can Psychologists/Practitioners/Therapists/Academics incorporate ideas from Community & Liberation Psychology, which centre equity, justice, decolonisation & social change into their practice, whatever context they are in?

This workshop will be hosted on the Zoom meeting platform where we will use our cameras and microphones to interact with each other as a group.
