Community psychology goes beyond an individual focus and integrates social, cultural, economic, political, environmental, and international influences to promote positive change, health, and empowerment at individual and systemic levels.

Community psychology is a branch of psychology that involves the study of how individuals relate to their communities and the reciprocal effect of communities on individuals.

Social Psychology is the branch of psychology that deals with social interactions, including their origins and their effects on the individual in the context of society. It studies the manner in which the personality, attitudes, motivations, and behavior of the individual influence and are influenced by social groups, so it is known as the "Science of society".

Community psychologists can work as educators, professors, program directors, consultants, policy developers, evaluators; and researchers in community organizations, universities, or government agencies to promote mental health and community well-being.
