OVERVIEW:
This training will explore the translation of clinical concepts supportive of individual clients with regard to social determinants of health (SDOH) into policy level interventions for communities and improvement of public health. The training will present current research regarding frameworks that consider SDOH and think “outside the box” of traditional frameworks, including Health At Every Size (HAES) and Fat Acceptance approaches to health management; Housing First (HF) interventions for individuals with substance use disorders; safe injection/overdose prevention sites; alternatives to the use of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Health Disorders (DSM-5-TR) in mental health care; and prison abolition/restorative justice movements. Implications for the child welfare, immigration, education, health and health insurance systems in the U.S. will be considered and explored, with current research and problem-solving possibilities presented. Additionally, we will explore compatibility with the use of SDH as a lens for understanding and developing interventions while considering codes of ethics and professional conduct from the NASW, APA, NBCC, and AAMFT. Finally, we will describe and examine challenges found within penal codes and other legal standards and mechanisms.
OBJECTIVES:
By attending this training, you will be able to:
1. Identify policies and policy aspects that incorporate social determinants of health.
2. Distinguish policies that support client autonomy within their individual context from those that do not.
3. Recognize characteristics of programs and program theories that support recognition of social determinants of health.
4. Describe research support for programs that consider social determinants of health in design and implementation.
5. Identify aspects of professional codes of ethics that support engagement with social determinants of health.
