Integrating Social Determinants of Health into Clinical and Behavioral Health Practice (Recorded)

Social determinants of health (SDOH)—including housing stability, education, income, transportation, and community safety—play a decisive role in shaping mental and behavioral health outcomes. Yet many clinical settings continue to treat presenting symptoms without fully addressing the structural and environmental conditions that sustain distress. This workshop will equip clinicians and behavioral health practitioners with practical tools to integrate SDOH assessment and intervention into their daily practice. Participants will learn how to identify key determinants influencing clients’ well-being, apply culturally responsive strategies to address barriers, and align clinical care with equity and population health goals.

 

By combining evidence-based frameworks with real-world case examples, this session bridges the gap between clinical expertise and systemic understanding. Participants will explore ways to incorporate SDOH into treatment planning, documentation, and interdisciplinary collaboration, while strengthening advocacy at organizational and policy levels. The training emphasizes the ethical responsibility of mental health professionals to recognize social context as part of healing—and provides actionable pathways to create more just, responsive, and human-centered systems of care.
