Social Ecology Model

The Social Ecology Model explains how different levels of influence shape people's behaviors and experiences. It considers individual factors (like beliefs and skills), relationships (family, friends), community factors (schools, workplaces), and broader societal influences (culture, policies). These levels interact with each other, meaning changes at one level can affect others. This model helps us understand that behavior is not just a personal choice but influenced by many interconnected environments, emphasizing the importance of addressing multiple levels to effectively promote well-being and solve social issues.
