What is Psychology and What Do Psychologists Offer Our Communities?
Psychology is the scientific study of human behavior, emotions, thoughts, and mental processes. It aims to understand how individuals think, feel, and act, both independently and within their communities.
Psychologists study the biological, psychological, and social influences that shape human behavior, seeking ways to improve mental health, interpersonal relationships, performance, and well-being. Through research, observation, and practical interventions, psychology bridges theory with real-life application, addressing personal, professional, and social challenges.
Psychologists work to identify behaviors and thought patterns that promote well-being while offering solutions to mitigate the negative effects of stress, trauma, and mental illness. In Fiji, with its diverse population and unique cultural practices, psychologists play a critical role in promoting psychological well-being and resilience within communities.
