Community-based practice

Community-based practice is a healthcare approach focused on delivering services within the community where people live and work. It emphasizes understanding local needs, cultures, and resources to promote health, prevent illness, and improve well-being. Practitioners collaborate with community members, organizations, and resources to develop tailored solutions that are accessible and sustainable. This approach encourages active participation from the community, ensuring that interventions are relevant and accepted, ultimately fostering healthier environments and empowering individuals to take charge of their health.
