The relationship between psychology, human rights, and the well-being of children, youth, and families is deeply interconnected, emphasizing the role of psychological science in promoting and protecting fundamental rights. Psychology provides insights into the mental and emotional needs of individuals, helping to shape policies and practices that uphold human rights, such as the right to education, freedom from abuse, and access to mental health care. For children and youth, this means fostering environments that support their development, resilience, and agency, while for families, it involves ensuring support systems that empower them to nurture their members. Human rights principles guide psychologists in advocating for equitable access to resources, combating discrimination, and addressing systemic inequalities that disproportionately affect vulnerable populations, thus creating a foundation for healthy, thriving communities.
