What Is Ecological Psychology?
The Value of Ecological Psychology Professional Development
Today, and in the centuries to come, decisions, practices, programs, products, services, and ethical alignments will be made based on ecological literacy (basic knowledge of how the planet works) and developed psychological (relational) capabilities. They will need to include accountability, ethics in corporate culture, diversity and inclusion, community engagement, and ecological and psychological leadership.
Whether you are a concerned citizen, run a household, or lead a business, corporation, institution, or community, the challenge is to meet the needs of all within the planet’s means.
Problems people, families, organizations, and communities face today, from climate disasters, ecological and social justice conflicts, lack of access to education, physical and mental health, and economic fairness, to the despoliation of air, water, and soil, are not new.
These interrelated problems stem from human narratives and their practices – from our psychology.
At Viridis, we approach ecological, social, family, economic and political systems as nested ecosystems, complex environments with circulating narratives that underpin every behavior and practice.
