Welcome to season 2 of the podcast! Apologies for the wait for the new season. The first episode of this season explores Sanism. This describes an irrational prejudice against people with mental illness and/or people who differ from a perceived psychological norm. We will explore what sanity and insanity are in relation to this, define Sanism, talk through possible harms and then look at ways at addressing these harms.

In today's episode, we explore community psychology. This episode provides a general introduction for the umbrella term of 'community psychology'. Within this umbrella term we will define the broad philosophical assumptions of this way of thinking, understand what it's aims are as well as see how it may influence and work with mental wellbeing.

During the episode I mention Bronfenbrenner (1979) - he developed Ecological Systems Theory, which is well worth reading more on if people are interested. I also mentioned the social epidemiologists Wilkinson & Pickett who wrote both The Spirit Level & The Inner Level, which explore how social inequality is related to mental and physical wellbeing.
