| Abstract: | An earlier article by the author outlined basic approaches to community consultation in a large Canadian university. This article discusses community psychology programming where the psychologist is an integral part of the target community. Examples of primary and secondary prevention are discussed, along with an example of how organizational psychological principles can be utilized within a university community. It is suggested that a community psychological approach to universities not only facilitates administrative policy-making but is also valuable in introducing university students to a paradigm of thinking about their living and working environment that they can carry out to the community at large.
