The Social Determinants of Mental Health

By CBHLResource Category: Videos & Webinars

On January 14, 2016, The College for Behavioral Health Leadership presented a webinar on the social determinants of mental health with Ruth Shim, MD, MPH. The presentation focused on the social determinants of mental health and mental illnesses; those factors stemming from where we grow, live, work, learn, and age that impact our overall mental health and well-being, and those factors that contribute to mental illnesses. Although there has been considerable recent focus on the social determinants of physical health, there has been surprisingly little emphasis on the social determinants of mental health. Special consideration was given to the social determinants of mental health, as they are largely neglected with regard to their role in causing and worsening mental illnesses. These underlying causes of mental illnesses are modifiable precursors to behavioral risk factors, and are largely responsible for social injustice and mental health inequities. Dr. Shim provided an overview of important concepts and present evidence that supports the existence of these determinants. She will also discuss research, policy, and practice-based solutions. A technical issue prevented the webinar from beginning until the fifth slide; we apologize for the inconvenience.
