In this chapter , you will a set of knowledge and skills that a Community Psychology practitioner needs . It starts by describing what practice competency means and why it is important . After presenting a brief overview of where the came from and the levels of competence , the chapter will provide information about what each competency means , case examples of the being used , how someone can become competent , resources related to each competency , and some and critical thinking questions . A Community Psychology consultant just received a contract to build to promote in rural communities . In this role , she will provide guidance and technical assistance to help the recruit historically excluded community residents , conduct a needs assessment , and use the results to develop a plan for change . When she visits these communities , she discovers that some have formed without including the historically excluded residents three of the counties have no idea where to begin , two counties have long histories of racism and segregation , and all the counties are in terms of health , mental health , housing , employment , transportation , and many other basic needs . The Community Psychology

120 Leonard , lack , and ( Editors ) consultant realizes that she is going to need all the knowledge and skills she developed throughout her training and employment experiences . As you read through this chapter , upon each competency and think about how it could be applied for the Community Psychology consultant work with these . THE ROLE OF IN COMMUNITY PSYCHOLOGY ) by an is licensed under the You might be wondering , what does practice competency mean ?

The Community Psychology practice were developed to provide a common framework to describe the skills involved in Community Psychology practice ( Dalton Wolfe , 2012 ) It means that someone who is a Community Psychology practitioner has mastered some or all these skills and knowledge to some extent . Community Psychology practice competency means that the community psychologist has mastered enough of the skills to implement their work in real life situations dealing with individuals and communities in need . Why practice and why is this important to the work that we do ?

When students are deciding on their careers and what to study in college or graduate school , they usually focus on the type of work they would like to do . The next step is to out what degree will give them the skills needed for the work they want to do . The Community Psychology practice accurately the set of skills students can obtain if they get a degree in this . Another reason having a list of is important is that graduates of Community Psychology programs can easily describe their skills to potential employers . Alternately , potential employers who have job openings that require these skills will know that they need to look for in someone who is trained in Community Psychology . A common vocabulary amongst practitioners , communities , and employers will help everyone to know what to expect when working with community psychologists ( Neigher , 2010 )

Introduction to Community Psychology 121 Where did these practice come from ?

The were created collaboratively by a task group made up of members of the Society for Community Research and Action ( Community Psychology Practice Council and Council of Education programs . They began the work in 2010 and after many iterations and reviews , the list of was approved by the Executive Committee in 2012 . What levels of competence are there ?

As with any of study , an individual can develop any of the Community Psychology practice to a different level of mastery . The level is exposure which means that they have learned about the and how it can be applied in practice . At the next level , experience , the community psychologist has actually used the in supervised practice , or practice on their own , to perform the tasks related to the competency . Expertise means the community psychologist has had several experiences with applying the in work and developed a high level of skill . To whom do these apply ?

While many of these apply to community psychologists all over the world , this particular set of in their entirety apply primarily to community psychologists practicing in the US . Community psychologists in other countries sometimes need different skills in their work because of cultural , economic , legal , political , or other differences . THE by is licensed under the License Foundational Principles The foundational principles are the that all Community Psychology practitioners working in the US need , listed in Table below . They represent knowledge , skills , and principles that help to guide practice work from a Community Psychology perspective , as well as the values and perspectives of Community Psychology and the needed to apply the values in

122 Leonard , lack , and ( Editors ) practice , as also indicated in the chapter ( 2019 ) These are combined with the remaining more technical to ensure they are exercised using a Community Psychology approach . Elias , Neigher , and ( 2015 ) suggest that you think of them as foreground processes because Community Psychology practitioners need to pay constant attention to these principles and make sure that their actions align with them . For example , in our case study , the Community Psychology practitioner will need to work with communities to develop their . There are many in place across most communities in the US , but when the Community Psychology practitioner works with the communities to develop their , they will be sure they include community members and develop structures that empower the historically excluded populations to lead the and determine the actions to be taken on their own behalf . This contrasts with that typically include professionals who make decisions and take action from outside the community . Table . Principles and Described Skill .

Community Program Development and Management This set of two include a large skill set whereby Community Psychology practitioners can partner with community stakeholders from start to to develop and implement programs in their communities to meet needs , to prevent problems , and to promote health ( See Table ) The case study at the beginning of this chapter mentions that the communities are resource poor . If the collaborative decides they need to create programs for youth , then the Community Psychology consultant may use the particular skills connected with community program development and Photo by is licensed under the License management to help them with program design and implementation .

Community and Organizational One hallmark of Community Psychology practice is that instead of going into communities and acting on their behalf , Community Psychology practitioners work to strengthen communities so they can act on their own behalf . This requires a strong , trusting relationship between the community psychologist and the various stakeholders , such as community partners , advocates , members of the target population , treatment providers , and governmental , entities ( Elias , Neigher , 2015 ) If Community Psychology practitioners are successful in their work , communities they work in should eventually not need their help at all . The goal is to create change which is then adopted by the community and managed by the community members to the point where they sustain it over time . This is really important for working in disadvantaged communities that have been traditionally . By giving away our skills and knowledge , we empower them to make the changes their communities need and reduce their reliance on outside professionals . These four are designed to help us do that ( see Table ) When the Community Psychology consultant in our case study goes into the communities to work with them to build their , she will not do any of the work for them . She will provide training and technical assistance to strengthen the skills and capacity of the community members to build and maintain their collaborative .

Community and Social Change Typically , when there is a problem in a community , we address it by creating another program to help solve some of the issues that have arisen . For example , in one community the response to childhood obesity was to teach children and parents how to improve their diet and exercise . Nobody would dispute that this is helpful information for all people to have . That said , what happens when parents want to healthy meals for their children , but they don have access to the food they need to make them ?

Or , what if they don have a car and there is no grocery store in their neighborhood ?

And what if a family can get out to walk or ride bicycles or get exercise of some kind because they live in a neighborhood where there are no sidewalks to walk on , or it isn safe because of high crime ?

Many of our social problems can not be by working to change people behavior , especially if they live or work in environments that won support their behavior changes . We need to have the skills to change systems , policies , and the environments in which people live . This set of provides Community Psychology practitioners with the skills to make these changes to create change processes that focus on ways to rearrange current relationships , roles , and power dynamics within a setting ( see Table ) The goal is to establish a more just , inclusive , and environment ( Elias , Neigher , 2015 ) The Community Psychology consultant in the Case Study will need these skills to help the build their own skills to change systems , and not just

130 Leonard , lack , and ( Editors ) There is much one can do with Community Psychology practice focusing on community and social change , even outside the itself . has served in elected positions in the local government of Atlanta , Georgia and has also held key policy advisory roles over the course of her career ( Scott Wolfe , 2015 ) Dually trained in both clinical psychology and psychology , was actively involved in various leadership roles in her community . She understood the importance of being an active member of her community regardless of her education . In fact , she said , I didn get elected because I was a community psychologist , but being a community psychologist helped enormously in my perspective and howl approached different issues and tasks , when serving as an elected . During her career as a city council member , was able to develop a Homeless Action Group , which brought together a wide variety of community members and groups to talk about and address issues facing people experiencing homelessness . used her skills and was able to practice community and organizational while enacting community and social change in a different role than a practitioner . Due to her efforts , the city developed The Gateway , a central intake and assessment facility that provided vital housing and services for people experiencing homelessness . This successful program required collaboration between city , business leaders , treatment providers , law enforcement , and community members . was able to use her training and expertise , as well as her dedication to community service , to bring these groups together and enact social change . Find out more about The gateway program . an by . licensed under a Community Research These last two allow Community Psychology practitioners to learn about the communities they work with , and to determine whether what they have done has made a difference . Unlike more traditional research , community psychologists do research and evaluate programs with community members rather than on or about them . They use their set of skills to collect and analyze data to help communities answer their , questions , evaluate what they are doing , and use research to plan , learn , and make decisions . The community consultant will need research and evaluation skills to help communities to conduct needs assessments and gather data to use for planning and to evaluate the outcomes of their initiatives . There are so many advantages when community psychologists collaborate with community members and organizations . These types of collaborations can provide mutual to the investigators as well as the community members , and help get the word out regarding new innovative ways of

Introduction to Community Psychology 131 delivering services . The following Case Study provides some glimpses of interactions that occurred during a collaborative relationship between a University group and the Oxford House recovery organization . By having members of the recovery community guide the types of questions that were asked , the research helped capture more crucial aspects of the changes that were occurring among residents . During one of the annual Oxford House conventions , an individual living in one of these homes approached ' Leonard , one of the University investigators and suggested that measures of tolerance A be included in this collaborative research . He explained that prior to living in an Oxford House , he had been very prejudiced against people who were different from him , such as people who were HIV positive . But while in Oxford House , he met a woman who was HIV positive she was now his girlfriend . He Wanted to point out that , for him , living in Oxford ' House went beyond staying clean and made him a more accepting and generous person . That participatory input led to a series of mixed methods investigations , which allowed both the community members and university researchers to better understand the rich experiences and outcomes of residents living in these recovery houses . For example , in one randomized study , with individuals being assigned to an Oxford House or usual aftercare condition , over time , those assigned to the Oxford House condition demonstrated greater values of tolerance than usual aftercare participants . These changes occurred due to living in a recovery setting where members could share time with one another , exchange life stories , discuss their prior drug use , talk about personal and group goals , enjoying eating and attending meetings , and participating in a variety of substance use social outings . With this type of involvement , it is likely that a sense of cohesion developed which led to increases in tolerance ( 2015 ) This type of collaborative research led to the being endorsed by the federal government as the current gold standard for residential aftercare . Receiving this recognition from the federal government helped this community organization expand to now serving over individuals in recovery . An important element of community research and action in practice is the dissemination of successful interventions that have communities ( Scott , Wolfe , 2015 ) Dissemination is a strategic , systematic sharing of information about an intervention or research to individuals and groups who can use this information to help the people they work with . The goals are to policy and change community psychologists methods in an area of practice so it is of greater to the populations they are working with . An even more concentrated form of dissemination is implementation , or the use of strategies to adopt and integrate health interventions and change practice patterns in settings ( Chamber , 2009 as cited in Scott , Wolfe , 2015 ) A

132 Leonard , lack , and ( Editors ) focus on implementation leads to innovative interventions that are more effective for the groups they are meant to help . This allows the practice to advance as a whole and creates an open dialogue among practitioners to collaborate on solutions and share their work . Table . and Skill .

Skill . Conduct program evaluations that adhere to professionally accepted standards of practice , including utility , feasibility , propriety , accuracy , and accountability . But why should community psychologists in practice share what they with each other ?

Well , this is because practitioners have to keep sustainability in mind as they are developing and implementing programs . This is especially true if a program is a success because the goal is to change best practices and policies so that the methods can be used to help more people and be spread to other locations . Focusing on sustainability can ensure that an effective program , intervention , or research is preserved and continues to affect practice and public policy , even after the practitioner has started working on something else . If a practitioner does not account for sustainability , it can lead to the old adage of history repeating itself , as their intervention and are ignored and lost over time . The case study below will highlight the importance of sharing the methodology with peers in the with a focus on dissemination and sustainability .

An instructive example showcasing dissemination and sustainability is the work of Bill and his colleagues . seminal work was a examination and experimentation of group problem solving with people with mental disorders living in inpatient hospital facilities ( Scott Wolfe , 2015 ) wanted to understand , through experimentation , how to give people in these institutional settings some semblance of freedom in the real world . and his colleagues understood the importance of empowerment and community integration , and recognized that this vulnerable , institutionalized group could greatly from living . His team spent an additional 10 years implementing a community living setting for these patients , with both work and social opportunities , called the Community Lodge . The lodge was very successful in giving patients economic , social , and interpersonal opportunities and vastly improved their quality of life . Their were successfully disseminated to other practitioners focusing on people with mental illness , and this led to many other works involving the importance of community living in improving people lives . Take a moment to think about how long it took to create this successful program for people with mental illness in hospital settings it took 35 years total to fully understand the problem , evaluate solutions , and implement it successfully through intervention . That is quite an investment on the part of and his colleagues , and yet they knew the importance of creating an intervention grounded in an empirical understanding of the issue and potential solutions . They wanted to make sure that their program would be effective , and they took the time to learn as much as they could before trying their lodge idea out . And they

134 Leonard , lack , and ( Editors ) made sure to study the most effective dissemination methods to make sure their results were spread and reached a wide audience . LEARNING AND STRENGTHENING Photo by Simon is licensed under the License The way to learn the discussed is to study Community Psychology , especially at the graduate level . As an undergraduate , there is a good chance that you have never heard of Community Psychology , as Bauer , Turner , and ( 2017 ) found that most introductory psychology textbooks contain no reference to this ( but there are now ongoing efforts to change this ) Many universities offer Master level programs that train students in these , or you can pursue a for more education . Not all Community Psychology graduate programs teach all of the , so someone considering graduate education in Community Psychology should decide what kind of work they are interested in doing , and then a graduate program that focuses on the they will need . All Community Psychology graduate programs focus on the foundational principles , but for other , a prospective community psychologist should explore programs . For example , some graduate programs focus more on community research , and others on community and organizational . However , there are some universities that offer an undergraduate psychology degree with an emphasis on Community Psychology . These undergraduate programs are an excellent means of learning more about the and getting the relevant experiences for graduate school or work graduate work . You can a list of undergraduate Community Psychology programs . Sometimes you can also these taught in other academic departments . For example , Social Work programs might offer program development , implementation , and management , and public health schools offer public policy analysis , development , and advocacy . You might take organizational psychology classes to learn more about organizational development . You could even

Introduction to Community Psychology 135 explore anthropology departments for more training in qualitative methods , business schools to learn more about managing people and programs , or political science to learn more about policy and government . Once you have had exposure to the , if you want to use them you will need to acquire experience . Internships and volunteer work offer opportunities to work with more experienced professionals under supervision as you gain experience . be really clear when you sign up that you are interested in learning more about the competency and want to get experience , so you can make sure the opportunity will support your need . Many jobs will also provide you with access to experienced individuals and opportunities to participate in supporting activities that use these . You can also look for additional outside training to further develop them . Many professional associations have professional conferences , and some of them even include workshops and training opportunities . For example , workshops are often offered before the beginning of conferences sponsored by such organizations as , the American Psychological Association , and the American Evaluation Association . Then you can attend the actual conferences and hear presentations that describe the results of the application of these . Attending professional conferences is also a good way to learn more about and network with individuals who are using the . There are large , national conferences such as the Biennial Conferences that are held every other year . There are also regional conferences that are smaller and provide better opportunities to meet community psychologists and learn more about their work and how they apply the . A Finally , look for online training opportunities as well . There are free online courses offered through online training through professional associations and opportunities through private organizations , such as The Evaluator Institute . There are often online available through various universities . For example , Michigan State University offers an online Program Evaluation . The Community Tool Box , which was developed by a group of community psychologists , offers a large amount of information and resources to develop the Community Psychology practice . You can also read The Community Psychologist to learn about recent research , practice , and programs developed by community psychologists . There are issues of The Community Psychologist that deal with in the Spring and Fall 2010 issues of the Community Psychologist ( The Council of Education and Community Practitioner ) that are about building competency for collaboration with citizens and communities and group processes . Also , the Spring 2011 column is about building Leadership and Mentoring competence and the Spring 2013 column is about policy analysis , development , and advocacy . There is also The Community Psychology website , where you can learn much more about the .

Keep in mind that no matter how much anyone learns and develops expertise for any one of the , there is always more to learn . It is an ongoing process that unfolds throughout a Community Psychology practitioner career . Critical Thought Questions . Which do you think would be most important to you if you were a Community Psychology practitioner ?

When you think about programs and change initiatives that have been done in your own community , how does the Community Psychology practice approach , guided by the foundational principles , differ from the approach that was taken where you live ?

How are these the same , and how are they different from required in other of study , such as Social Work , Public Health , and evaluation ?
