@abyrne8391 talks about work across NHS & charity sector, increasing access to Psychology through community partnership in #TowerHamlets & @DermanWellbeing. Whilst she doesn't call herself a #CommunityPsychologist, CP is a realisation of her ethics, values & inspirations. [2/11]
She talks about CP going "way back" to ideas of #Solidarity, #Internationalism & #CollectiveAction learnt at a young age & with early career opportunities she saw the "nuts & bolts" of how it looks on the ground. [3/11]
@abyrne8391 describes #CommunityPsych as seeing things in social, political context; a different level of analysis beyond individual; a set of values& ethics, re: social justice, equity; meeting people where they are & listening to/understanding need& wishes of communities [4/11]
She raises importance of acknowledging #power, being #Critical of our CP practice & understandings. Are we actually in line with our values? Do we acknowledge when we do harm, or when we're not needed? [5/11]
@abyrne8391 mentions her work with #CommunityGroups, the importance of building trust, spending time, strengthening relationships, having respect. Info about several projects/methodologies that Angela speaks about are linked below: [6/11]

@abyrne8391 suggests looking at #Scholarship & developments from the #GlobalSouth, the work of Dr Deanne Bell highlights this too & Angela names #UrmitapaDutta as a source of ongoing critical inspiration http://www.urmitapadutta.com/ [10/11]
Finally, some advice for those starting to use #communitypsych ideas: be aware of your own positioning ( @abyrne8391 writes about this here: https://bit.ly/39G13ir ), start small, develop relationships where you're open to learning & approach with #Humility and #Respect. [11/11]
