Abstract
The world is facing a growing climate crisis, with severe impacts on biodiversity, health, migration, and overall well-being. This issue of JPIC presents empirical contributions from the 2024 Summer Institute for Doctoral Students, affiliated with the Italian Community Psychology Association and held in Pinzolo, Italy. It fosters interdisciplinary dialogue on the complex environmental and social challenges affecting communities. Community psychology offers a unique perspective on climate change, focusing on the psychological and relational dimensions of individual and collective well-being. The featured studies examine the mental health impacts of climate change across micro, community, and macro levels, and propose community-based strategies for sustainable development and resilience. Our aim is to contribute to a shared vision of the future, where sustainability and well-being are central to thriving, resilient communities.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Prevention & Intervention in the Communityis on the cutting edge of social action and change, not only covering current thought and developments, but also defining future directions in the field. Under the editorship of Joseph R. Ferrari since 1995, Prevention in Human Services was retitled as the Journal of Prevention & Intervention in the Communityto reflect its focus of providing professionals with information on the leading, effective programs for community intervention and prevention of problems. Because of its intensive coverage of selected topics and the sheer length of each issue, the Journal of Prevention & Intervention in the Community is the first-and in many cases, primary-source of information for mental health and human services development.
