Community Circle

The aim of community circle is to reach out to the community with effective action plan and interaction. Community circle aims to impart the relevance of community psychology in the society in order to bridge the gap in mental health for substantial proportion of people. The importance of understanding the various nuances of community psychology in society creates awareness and thus reflects the relevance in community intervention. The community circle has conducted various community outreach programs through specific groups and institutions. We have collaborated with different panchayats, Kudumbashree, different colleges and other NGO’s to conduct several programs. Some notable programs include services for LGBTQIA+, Suicide Prevention Programs and Drug and Alcohol awareness, creating awareness in addressing women and children’s issues and other collaborative programs with government agencies. One of the recent initiatives by community circle is providing professional support for community. This initiative was developed with a crisis response team to provide mental health support and counselling. The community circle observes various programs on important mental health days. We also conduct several programs in order to avoid certain misconceptions in psychology and point out the difference between the fake and real psychologists. Our goal also includes to widen the knowledge about community psychology and its importance to psychology students.
