The Social Determinants of Health remain an industry priority. While robust evidence validates the impact of psychosocial circumstances on the health of clients and communities, there is another vital dimension. Mental health incidence and the social determinants are intertwined. Emphasis on trauma is emerging across practice settings. Expanded reimbursement targets health and behavioral health integration. Substance use, especially opioids is a funding urgency. The industry mantra of “the greater the inequality, the greater the risk” spans physical and mental health domains. The time for attention to the Social Determinants of Mental Health (SDoMH) is now. Engage in a comprehensive session to provide the essential knowledge-base for this important dimension of population-health. Learn definitions and demographics, explore the evidence, and review reimbursement, resources and initiatives. Discover innovative new models to interview and assess clients that address readmissions and unnecessary hospitalizations, promote workforce safety and retention. Master this imperative for the industry! A post-test is automatically administered at the conclusion of the session that must be completed with a 100% passing score to be awarded a CE certificate.
