Hi everyone,
As part of the British Psychological Society's overall Covid-19 response, the BPS Community Psych section are collating resources, ideas and 'guidance' about practicing differently as a psychologist (or student/trainee/researcher etc), for example supporting mutual aid groups, engaging in scrutinising & responding to policy esp in relation to marginalised communities, engaging in local and national social action etc.
We want to ensure what the BPS puts out includes critical community psych approaches, rather than just individualising responses - and this seems a key moment to encourage new ways of working - so your input is most welcome.
We're trying to find examples in action eg this online Cabaret by our friend and campaigner, Dan Glass.

So websites, links or research papers of relevance, or just things you're doing in response as community psychologists - please do add onto this google doc - it seems the most straightforward way of crowdsourcing input.

Also we've also signed this as the BPS Community Psych section in case others want to as individuals or organisations

Thanks so much
Sally and the BPS Community Psych section (including Carl Harris and others who are on here!)
