We invite you to join us for this webinar, which will provide foundational knowledge on what are the social determinants of health, why they should be assessed, and how mental health service providers can leverage them for better outcomes. Hear how providers throughout the Pacific Southwest region are addressing the social determinants of health through broad initiatives, service assessments, and strategic partnerships. We will discuss how to identify appropriate partners and collaborate with them on the shared interest of achieving mental health equity. There will be many tools and resources highlighted to support your local efforts, as well as ample opportunity to ask your questions.
Participants in this session will have the opportunity for continued and deeper learning in a related Community of Practice. Applications will be released after the webinar.
Coming Soon! The Pacific Southwest MHTTC is developing a supplemental fact sheet on the social determinants of health that will be released shortly.
