Overview
The biopsychosocial (BPS) model is an interdisciplinary approach to community mental health that considers biology, psychology, and socio-cultural factors to understand the complex relationship among these elements. This model is impactful because it examines an individual’s psyche within a broader community context. Once mental health professionals understand the risks and factors affecting a community group, they can develop preventative programs to address these concerns.
