Milieus refers to the multiple physical, relational, social, cultural, and environmental settings within which experience occurs, develops, and takes shape.
More specifically, milieus may refer to the various atmospheres and contextual conditions of home, neighbourhood, school, workplace, community, and wider sociocultural and intergenerational life. These overlapping contexts influence how the Self senses, perceives, interprets, adapts, and organises across time. In this way, milieus shape development, personality, adjustment, and the ongoing movement of being within Self, Other(s), and the World around us.
